Covington, Samantha English 9Mrs. Willard10/16/15College is for Those Who Care Fundamentally, college serves as an essential to what you’ve already learned and prepared for. As time passes college becomes increasingly expensive, however one could just consider that as paying for their career. Despite college’s overly expensive prestige, it bestows intelligence and guidance for one’s career choice. Therefore, college is a vital part to one’s future. For the most part, it is a fact that having a career that is supported by a degree, pays a higher salary than without. In the text of “New School Year, Old Story”, shows data concerning the level of education and their weekly earnings. In the data, it shows that the least paid education level would be to only have experience of high school education, earning $451 weekly. While having a high school diploma, would give earning of an average $638. The highest paid degree would be a professional degree, which earns $1,665 weekly. There is an in between, the bachelor’s degree pays $1,053, and has the least likely unemployment rate. Knowing information such as this can help motivate one to go to college, and actually pursue a career. “College is Very Much Worth It” by Andrew Rotherham reveals the reality that college has become a rare topic to teenagers. So much that it is fathomable to wonder if it can provide anything of worth or benefit. There are those who even encourage young student that it is innocuous to delay going to college. Rotherham includes the results of a survey from Pew Research Center, which shows that 40 percent of Americans thought college “contributes good value for money”. Yet there is still doubt and dissatisfaction in the younger community of a higher education. One would think that the evidence would benefit in some way to encourage younger generations to continue on with their education. Despite college having the reputation of a higher education, there is still the fact that poor quality teaching exist in brand schools. In the article titled “An Early Start on College” there are dual credits in high school for those had not received the proper teaching on a certain subject. This program of 5 dual credits of choice allows students to earn college credits. A study included in the text showed that programs had become popular, between 2001 and 2006. This has statistics that “about 38,000 state students took AP or IB exams and an average of about 5,500 students a year participates in post-secondary options. . .” These dual credits are seen as essential provided by the evidence, “Concurrent enrollment increased from 17,581 to 21,184 between 2008 and 2010.” Ultimately there would be no need for dual credits if teachings were thorough. These courses do benefit the student in the end, and provide foundation for the future. In brief, college provides an understanding for each individual, and a higher education which will become beneficial. Those who doubt the usefulness of their education will probably not succeed like they had expected, and understand why they had been encouraged to do so in the beginning. ................
