THESIS STATEMENT: Free education should be provided at public institutions in order to promote and encourage students to gain the education they
need to survive in today's economy.

organization that is collectively run and dedicated to explaining important economic issues. The issues are made relevant by applying them to
everyday life. This organization was started in 1974, by the Economics Affairs Bureau Inc., with the mission to challenge mainstream economic issues
and create a movement to start a new economy. Biola Jeje helped to establish New York Students Rising, a network of statewide students from a
variety of state and city colleges. "Belinda Rodriguez is a climate justice activist and organizer," (Belina Rodriguez, n.d.). Rodriguez recently served as
Training Director at United States Student Association. Because the source only focuses on economic issues and is closely monitored by various
universities, I believe this would be a good source. Both authors participate in organizations that are trying to help make higher education more
accessible.

The Reasons of Plagiarism
Identify the main reasons why university students plagiarise in English speaking countries. Present an argument and support with evidence from
academic sources
Part 1
Plagiarism is the act of using another's work without appropriate acknowledgement, is often grouped with other cheating behaviour such as taking
notes into an exam, fabricating a bibliography, lying about personal circumstances to get special consideration and other similar actions. There is a

"I never plagiarism not because of avoid punishment just because I don't want to cheat myself ." 2rd year graduate, Physics . Mily from Oxford

But situation in some relative low quality University is quite different. For example, a study by Lim and See (2001) based in Singapore, which they
describe as 'one of the most competitive educational systems in the world', found that students
'are morally ambivalent about academic cheating and are rather tolerant of dishonesty among their peers. On the issue of whether cheating behaviors
should be reported...a majority of students chose to take the expedient measure of ignoring the problem rather than to blow the whistle on their peers'.
Motivation not only important in University but also in future working area . the reason less adult cheating than student is they not only have strong
motivation but also take plagiarism seriously . they realize they are truly participating in the society and nonsense to do such cheating thing .
For example , many studies have shown that academic staff and students have very different attitudes towards cheating and plagiarism (Stern &
Havlicek, 1986; Anderson & Obershain, 1994; Roth & McCabe, 1995; Higbee & Thomas, 2000). Evans & Craig (1990) uncovered general agreement

The Importance Of College Education
There are a handful of achievements one unlocks during their quest through life, whether it be starting a new job, getting married, or having a child.
One of the most significant of them is graduating from college. When an individual walks across the stage and is handed the key to life, they are able
to open the doors of many opportunities. Not only do students leave college with an education, but with other hidden skills. For instance, college
graduates become more employable individuals, are exposed to a diverse environment, and are subjected to extra support and guidance from people
who will help them achieve their goals. Leaving college with more than one went for, in itself, is a reason a college education is worth it. For one,
those who acquire a college education are more employable than those who do not because jobs requiring college degrees are increasing. According to
Tony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, "educated workers are becoming increasingly valuable
for two reasons, the first being that most lower–skilled jobs are being shipped overseas, and the second being that computers have started to do much
of the ordinary, repetitive work"(Media).This means jobs like doctors and lawyers will always be needed, and these jobs require higher level degrees.
Also, employers are looking for individuals who have college degrees because it shows more than the fact they have an education, but that they are

Why College Athletes Shouldn't Be Paid
Why Not to Pay College Athletes After numerous scandals over the past several years of college athletes receiving improper benefits, the question has
come up whether or not college athletes should be paid or not. College sports are a growing industry, and we have seen money destroy organizations,
teams, and players in this industry. The determination and motivation of college athletes supersedes professional athletes by their will to win;
therefore, college athletes should not be paid. The law that prevents college athletes from receiving money is called Title IX. Title IX was passed in
1972, and states that all money should go equally for all sports and no team should be excluded. Originally this law was created to preserve equal ...

"Likewise, almost all NCAA championships "lose money." However, overall NCAA revenue, primarily derived from the Association's media
agreements and the popularity of the Division I Men's Basketball Championship, helps 400,000 student–athletes at more than 1,000 member
institutions learn and compete in 23 sports and 88 national championships" (NCAA 2). Most colleges typically lose money on most of their sporting
teams, and with the income from the few sport teams they are able to provide for other students. Since a lot of colleges are losing money in the
industry, they wouldn't be able to pay the athletes if they don't generate revenue. This would cause students to go to colleges that make money
knowing they would be getting paid, compared to a college that doesn't have financial stability to pay athletes. College would not be college anymore.
The universities would become franchises and inevitably turn into a smaller version of the NFL. The law Title IX makes it mandatory for each team
to provide the same amount of benefits to each student. From the incomes to these few sports, the less popular sports at schools would be cut because
they do not have enough revenue coming in to pay the players. "("Student–athletes generate billions of dollars for universities and private companies
while earning nothing for themselves.") This is indisputably untrue. Student–athletes earn free tuition, which

A University Degree is a Good Investment Essay
As a recent high school graduate, I spent the last year of high school deciding what I want to do with my life. It was time to seriously answer the

One day I could've been a teacher, and the next day a veterinarian. But one thing you don't hear most kids say they dream about being is a college

Since then thousands of universities have opened and offer many different fields to pursue. From law schools to technical institutes to community
colleges, there are a variety of higher education options. Since the mass development of universities, it has become more traditional for people of all
social statuses to attend college. Also, since 1636 the number of people going to college has also increased as a higher education has become more
attainable for the average person. However, in recent times the trend of an increasing enrollment has faded away. This decrease in college registration
influences the question of why students have begun to stray away from college in the last few years.
Mathew Bidwell, a professor at the Wharton University of Pennsylvania has found that "About 300,000 fewer students enrolled in college this fall
[2013], compared to 2012" (Bidwell 2). This decline in enrollment is something to worry about because the future of the United States falls heavy on
the shoulders of education. In 2012 Barrack Obama set a goal for the United States: by the year 2020 America will once again have the highest
proportion of college graduates in the world. ("Ensuring" 1.) With the aim of achieving this goal, it is important to stop this decline in college

In a world with a competitive job market and with citizens who want to make the most money that they can, a college education is key in success. For

If this is the case then there should be documentation of these increases but, "academic institutions have made little effort either on or off campus to
make themselves transparent to explain their finances," (Tuition Rising). There is no documentation that describes what every penny of tuition pays
for. It is only stated that it goes toward "administrative costs, faculty salaries, technology, Federal regulation, endowment, State appropriations,"
(Tuition Rising). But why are the costs rising? Patrick M. Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, states that
"there's not much going on in either private or public higher education that is very serious about cost control," (Tuition Rising). He believes that
"Underlying all this is that more kids are graduating from high school every year, most of them want to go to college, and so it's a seller's market.
Universities raise tuition because they can,"(Tuition Rising). This makes us wonder if universities are tricking us of our money since they have not
documented where tuition is going. In order to avoid confusion from students and parents who want answers, the government should require
institutions to have documentation of what tuition is funding.

University of Phoenix, the largest chain of for–profit colleges in the country, fed up because their academic experiences bear no resemblance to the

rate, current and former students who studied at University of Phoenix campuses or online complained of instructional shortcuts, unqualified
professors, and recruiting abuses" (Burd, 1). There are some business organizations that do not recognize them as a credible education system. For
example, I worked for the insurance company Geico, and they offered tuition reimbursement if you attend an accredited university. However because of

Many colleges and universities have created Bias Acts Response Teams (BART). Some examples BART has dealt with on campus include:
Faculty members whose intent is to bring a student of color into the classroom conversation ends up asking the student to speak for their entire race.
Faculty member asks a Japanese American student about the conflict in Korea.

Faculty members who are interested in offering assistance to a student whose native language is not English ends up offending the student by making

They do not want to be looked down upon in the eyes of society so they do what they think is best. The idea to become a productive person in
society is that you must have some sort of college education. Being a college student is seen as more respectable, rather then being a garbage man
or janitor because of the way society looks down upon these types of careers. Going to college and receiving a degree does not guarantee that a
person is going to get a job right after they graduate. It is sometimes hard for some graduates to find a good job because there is so much
competition with other graduates as well. Sometimes they may get a job and it could be in a totally different field of what they got their degree
for. They must find a job though to pay off all the debt that an education has given them. Many students feel that some classes are a waste of time
and money because they learn nothing about their chosen field. They have to take classes that have nothing to do with their major but must take the
class to meet the core education requirement of the college. If these students receive a less than average grade in a class they feel is unneeded then
that lowers their overall GPA. The major reason of going to college is to get a good job. College prepares us with academic knowledge in order to

those features that make us good at something. In David Mamet's Oleanna, John loses his job and his house due to Carol's ignorance, lack of

What Is College Worth It?
College, is it really worth it? Some say yes, some say no. Some have not even gone to college, and the reason for that, is the ridiculous amount a
person has to pay, endure, and live through.
"On average, a college graduate with a bachelor's degree earned $30,000 more per year than a high school graduate..." (Is College Education Worth It?).
Usually that sounds grand and would also make somebody very ecstatic yet, learning the other side of the story might make you cringe. Within nine, to

Life at a Medieval University
Life at a medieval university for clerics was in many regards similar to our present day college experience. When college was in session, life was
basically split into two categories; life in the books, and life outside the books if you will. Scholars needed to focus their attention to the tasks at hand
during learning hours. As we know today, the more time you spend studying, the better grades you'll achieve. On the other hand, scholars needed a
release from the daily grind of constant academic involvement. This may have included some popular pastimes such as drinking, gambling, and
wreaking havoc downtown (nothing a modern student would do). The scholars experienced many of the problems that modern day collegians deal with

If you were at a university at this time, you would follow the religious standards, just as I could never get out of going to Friday mass at HGA.
Nowadays, religion is a touchy topic. It is left to the discretion of the individual whether or not he or she wants to follow the practices and how
closely. Church and state are now separated as to avoid major conflicts. Peter Abelard questions the theological teachings of medieval universities
and is criticized for it. He says "Is God one, or no?" At this time scriptures were not to be questioned and were considered to be true. As we know
now, science has become a major source of answers in society. Anyway, Abelard brings a whole new dimension to the table when he questions god's
existence and some of the things that the church stands for. The whole basis is to use logic and reason to ponder things in a philosophical fashion.
This faith vs. reason debate involved Abelard and others who felt that god was in a persons being, or heart. Academia took up most of the students
daily and weekly lives. Scholars took full advantage of down time to relax and enjoy themselves. Social life was the second major aspect of a cleric's

The food on Biola University is all provided by Bon Appetite. In the beginning, I did not know that Bon Appetite's food was Certified Humane so I
decided to show support of humane treatment of animals by going on a vegetarian diet. Since I could not go off campus to buy Certified Humane
groceries nor could I really afford buying healthy groceries, I decided to go vegetarian. I did the vegetarian diet for two weeks and obtained protein
through nuts, beans, and peanut butter. When I was participating in the diet, I realized how common meat was a part of the dishes served for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. It was often a central part of a dish, and meat was always served for every meal. While protein is an essential part of a healthy
diet, the amount offered is more than needed. After this exercise, I am willing to consider giving up chicken or pork. I also definitely suggest
going on a vegetarian diet for at least a week or two to experience what it is like. I gained a broader perspective when I did this diet and learned how
vegetarians got their protein, why vegetarians did their diet, and obtained a common ground to discuss about with vegetarians or vegans. I find that a
vegetarian diet is a lot easier than a vegan diet. Perhaps one should participate in a vegetarian diet for a week and then a vegan diet for another week.

saw the creation of the Constituency Development Act that was aimed to rationalize development across the country by ensuring that all areas across
Kenya had a fair share of the money set aside for development. Through the various committees established in each constituency, students in the
universities are able to access bursaries to aid them in paying school fees. This bursary is given to people who are needy and who cannot afford tuition

an ineffective and inefficient use of their time. She states that many students do not belong in college because they are there for the wrong reasons and
they are not happy learning. She also gives evidence to suggest that going to college and getting a degree does not actually allows a person to make

Bird's second point is that, contrary to popular belief, college is not the best monetary investment a young person can make. Bird explains this by
comparing the money that would be spent on education versus money that is put in a bank for interest. The outcome shows investing money that would
otherwise be spent on a college education would earn over half a million dollars more than the earnings of a male college graduate compared to a
non–graduate. Bird also states that even if a graduate makes more money in their job than a non–graduate, there is no evidence that the higher income
is due to their college education. She attributes financial success to luck rather than a college education. In this argument she mainly puts forth
logical reasons why college is not for everyone. She shows actual dollar amounts that logically prove an education is not necessarily the most
profitable investment. Bird's final point is that college does not prepare most people for the jobs they are going to have in the future. She states the
work attached to most jobs is totally unrelated to their college education. For example, although there are many graduates with a psychology degree,
there are only so many jobs in psychology. The remaining graduates are forced to find jobs with work unrelated to the degree they have obtained. Also,
she brings up the point that college does not make people intelligent and successful, but successful and intelligent people go to

Or for the individual who find one's true interest, general education is more than worth the two years it takes to get through. So although the
couple of years a college student spends in general education may seem useless, it is important to recognize the value of it. It helps individuals by
showing them an array of possibilities that should be explored before one decides on his or hers life's career. It also builds interesting people who
are not just specialists, but who have a better understanding and appreciation for the world around them. Even though, as explained previously,
general education is valuable it does create stress for the student who is set on his/her major. For many students, especially those who go to state
universities, the probability of graduating with a bachelor's degree in four years is highly unlikely. For those students who have to fight to get into
the classes they need to graduate, general education is a villain. The victim of this system can't see the importance of taking a variety of courses.
Zinsser recognizes this problem in his essay "College Pressures," which talks about the stresses that college students face. He quotes a dean of Yale

personalities and attitudes and provides students with the playground to learn to handle them. Due to the fact that a college student is exposed to

concepts since he is more "well rounded" and knowledgeable in different areas, both in and out of his job scope. The efficiency at making and

around limited classroom space, instructor shortages, and conflicting course schedules to offer more students more classes. Similarly, in taking an
online course that allows them to complete assignments at their own pace, students can work around their busy course and work schedules, as well as
tailor their coursework to their own personal learning styles. Students increasingly enroll in online courses over their summer break while they live

In order to get a decent paying job, you have to have a college degree. Many people will not be able to go to college full time because they have to
work part–time or full–time to be able to afford college and can not move on to a higher paying job with out it. Low income students have always
struggled with college bills. Financial and political forces are making it harder than ever to get a college degree, which is crucial to getting a high
paying job (Philadelphia Inquirer, 1). It is extremely difficult to get a job and go to college full or part time, just to have a higher paying job. Many
students hope to avoid a soaring loan debt. They work long hours; take courses part–time and are commuting to college rather than living on campus.
These compromises greatly reduce chances of earning a college degree in a timely manner if at all (Philadelphia Inquirer, 1). As a result, students must
rely on even larger loan debt to get through school. Many students have to put off getting their degree and some never go back to get it.

many free college is nothing more than a dream at the moment and who could blame them, for alas the government is taking their time, in no hurry
to swiftly respond to the pleas of citizens. However there was a plan in the works that Catherine Morris describes in her article "Pay It Forward". She
states, "Obama proposed funding Americas College Promise to the tune of $60 billion and paying for it with a series of taxes – including one
controversial and short–lived proposal to tax 529 college savings plans " (13). This shows that the government has some willingness to approach the
issue, but most likely they have found that it is going to be more difficult than imagined to apply reform in this area. Another plan that is currently in
use and has a controversial funding method is the Tennessee Promise which supports college students who are going to attend community colleges for
shorter lengths such as two years. The gray areas start to come in with the funding. Scholarships for four year students are cut to help students who
will be in college for less time and who will subsequently acquire more debt. Despite these criticisms they are a step in the right direction even if they
lay on some unsteady framework.

Essay on Academic and Career Goals
ACADEMIC2 Academic and Career Goals
Sometimes it seems like life is inhibiting me from achieving my goals. I define my objectives as I see them. I associate them with my values.
Knowing that the task at hand is essential to realizing my dreams, but I am unable to do it. I have thought about other ways to get around the problem,
I keep getting back to the talent I'm missing. Accomplishing a new ability might feel like a huge undertaking. It's been my experience that if a talent is
necessary in getting closer to achieving my dreams, education is not a bad thing after all. I begin on an excursion to take the first of many steps gaining

making their ends meet. The employers are seeking individuals who possess college degrees; which inspires people to further their education. Having a
college degree often leads individuals into a secure and a well–paying job in order to adequately support their family. In today's society and principles,
individuals with a college degree are viewed to be more devoted, well–informed, teachable, and respected to potential businesses.
Additionally, when I was younger and inexperienced, my day dreams were of going college and gaining the experience that would lead me to a
successful career. Unnecessary time had passed; and unfortunately, I had to work instead of continuing on with school. Many of my older friends talked
about their experiences, and my high school friends were also excited about the idea of joining the working class. After being employed with several
jobs, I felt as if my life was not reaching full potential. My self–esteem became low and I felt distraught. Furthermore, I needed to motivate myself and
decided to pursue my college degree. There is a point in everyone's life where they will have to become financially independent. Unfortunately, for
some people this process can be difficult. Planning my life has been a roller

Providing Support to Transgender Students On Campus Essay
As support for the LGBT population arises across the United States, colleges and universities have responded by creating positive spaces and
environments for students. However, in some cases, not all populations are served adequately. A population specifically, transgender students,
sometimes do not receive the same support gay, lesbian and bisexual students receive. An issue facing LGBT Services at DePauwUniversity is
providing adequate services to transgender students. Providing educational programming, gender neutral restrooms, faculty education, and counseling
for transgender students could increase support for students who identify as transgender.

The students in Pusch's (2005) study had both positive and negative reactions about their identity and beginning to transition. The reactions the
participants had impacted their identity as a person in college (Pusch, 2005).
Disapproval by others. Krista, a male–to–female student is consistently met with her parents reinforcing her birth gender (Pusch, 2005). In addition,
on campus, Krista is enrolled as a male and resides on a male floor in a residence hall. Her daily life on campus is disconcerting and faces constant
alienation (Pusch, 2005). Mary, an age 21 female also has the same feelings as Krista. However, Mary, who is pre–transitioning, attends community
college, and lives at home with her parents after leaving a university for academic reasons. In her home, she faces denial by her parents and does not
live as her self–identified gender (Pusch, 2005). The disapproval and alienation Krista and Mary are faced with occur on college campuses and to
college age students.
Supported by others. When a transgender person comes out having support is key in gaining self–confidence. Oberan, a participant in the study,
discussed how he always felt the most supported when people would forget he was trans (Pusch, 2005). Since Oberan is treated as a male and not
transgendered he feels the most support from his peers and family (Pusch, 2005). Oberan also impacted his campus

The issues are made relevant by applying them to everyday life. This organization was started in 1974, by the Economics Affairs Bureau Inc., with the mission to challenge mainstream economic issues and create a movement to start a new economy.

But situation in some relative low quality University is quite different. For example, a study by Lim and See (2001) based in Singapore, which they describe as 'one of the most competitive educational systems in the world', found that students 'are morally ambivalent about academic cheating and are rather tolerant of dishonesty among their peers. On the issue of whether cheating behaviors should be reported...a majority of students chose to take the expedient measure of ignoring the problem rather than to blow the whistle on their peers'. Motivation not only important in University but also in future working area . the reason less adult cheating than student is they not only have strong motivation but also take plagiarism seriously . they realize they are truly participating in the society and nonsense to do such cheating thing . For example , many studies have shown that academic staff and students have very different attitudes towards cheating and plagiarism (Stern & Havlicek, 1986; Anderson & Obershain, 1994; Roth & McCabe, 1995; Higbee & Thomas, 2000).

  • 4. The Importance Of College Education There are a handful of achievements one unlocks during their quest through life, whether it be starting a new job, getting married, or having a child. One of the most significant of them is graduating from college. When an individual walks across the stage and is handed the key to life, they are able to open the doors of many opportunities. Not only do students leave college with an education, but with other hidden skills. For instance, college graduates become more employable individuals, are exposed to a diverse environment, and are subjected to extra support and guidance from people who will help them achieve their goals. Leaving college with more than one went for, in itself, is a reason a college education is worth it. For one, those who acquire a college education are more employable than those who do not because jobs requiring college degrees are increasing. According to Tony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, "educated workers are becoming increasingly valuable for two reasons, the first being that most lower–skilled jobs are being shipped overseas, and the second being that computers have started to do much of the ordinary, repetitive work"(Media).This means jobs like doctors and lawyers will always be needed, and these jobs require higher level degrees. Also, employers are looking for individuals who have college degrees because it shows more than the fact they have an education, but that they are driven, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Why College Athletes Shouldn't Be Paid Why Not to Pay College Athletes After numerous scandals over the past several years of college athletes receiving improper benefits, the question has come up whether or not college athletes should be paid or not. College sports are a growing industry, and we have seen money destroy organizations, teams, and players in this industry. The determination and motivation of college athletes supersedes professional athletes by their will to win; therefore, college athletes should not be paid. The law that prevents college athletes from receiving money is called Title IX. Title IX was passed in 1972, and states that all money should go equally for all sports and no team should be excluded. Originally this law was created to preserve equal ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "Likewise, almost all NCAA championships "lose money." However, overall NCAA revenue, primarily derived from the Association's media agreements and the popularity of the Division I Men's Basketball Championship, helps 400,000 student–athletes at more than 1,000 member institutions learn and compete in 23 sports and 88 national championships" (NCAA 2). Most colleges typically lose money on most of their sporting teams, and with the income from the few sport teams they are able to provide for other students. Since a lot of colleges are losing money in the industry, they wouldn't be able to pay the athletes if they don't generate revenue. This would cause students to go to colleges that make money knowing they would be getting paid, compared to a college that doesn't have financial stability to pay athletes. College would not be college anymore. The universities would become franchises and inevitably turn into a smaller version of the NFL. The law Title IX makes it mandatory for each team to provide the same amount of benefits to each student. From the incomes to these few sports, the less popular sports at schools would be cut because they do not have enough revenue coming in to pay the players. "("Student–athletes generate billions of dollars for universities and private companies while earning nothing for themselves.") This is indisputably untrue. Student–athletes earn free tuition, which ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It was time to seriously answer the question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" As a child this question seems so broad and open. There are a million things to choose from. One day I could've been a teacher, and the next day a veterinarian. But one thing you don't hear most kids say they dream about being is a college graduate. However, when the time comes to plan your life, suddenly the options diminish and you're really left with only two; college, or a job.

From law schools to technical institutes to community colleges, there are a variety of higher education options. Since the mass development of universities, it has become more traditional for people of all social statuses to attend college. Also, since 1636 the number of people going to college has also increased as a higher education has become more attainable for the average person. However, in recent times the trend of an increasing enrollment has faded away. This decrease in college registration influences the question of why students have begun to stray away from college in the last few years. Mathew Bidwell, a professor at the Wharton University of Pennsylvania has found that "About 300,000 fewer students enrolled in college this fall [2013], compared to 2012" (Bidwell 2). This decline in enrollment is something to worry about because the future of the United States falls heavy on the shoulders of education. In 2012 Barrack Obama set a goal for the United States: by the year 2020 America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. ("Ensuring" 1.) With the aim of achieving this goal, it is important to stop this decline in college enrollment.

Open Doors During the last few decades, the United States has leading other develop countries in attracting the highest number of international students interested in pursuing post–secondary degree. According to the Open Doors report, "The number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by 7.0 percent to a record high of 623,805 in the past academic year, and by 165 percent in the last three decades" (Institute for International Education, 2008). The influx of international students in the US, seems to have a positive influence to America economy and diversity enriches the social life as well. America a capitalize country still allow its doors open, hence confirming the above claim.

In a world with a competitive job market and with citizens who want to make the most money that they can, a college education is key in success. For some students, financing college is not a problem.

It is only stated that it goes toward "administrative costs, faculty salaries, technology, Federal regulation, endowment, State appropriations," (Tuition Rising). But why are the costs rising? Patrick M. Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, states that "there's not much going on in either private or public higher education that is very serious about cost control," (Tuition Rising). He believes that "Underlying all this is that more kids are graduating from high school every year, most of them want to go to college, and so it's a seller's market. Universities raise tuition because they can,"(Tuition Rising). This makes us wonder if universities are tricking us of our money since they have not documented where tuition is going.

Faculty member asks a Japanese American student about the conflict in Korea. A student feels their contributions concerning the African American experience are disregarded. Faculty members who are interested in offering assistance to a student whose native language is not English ends up offending the student by making assumption about their citizenship.

The idea to become a productive person in society is that you must have some sort of college education. Being a college student is seen as more respectable, rather then being a garbage man or janitor because of the way society looks down upon these types of careers. Going to college and receiving a degree does not guarantee that a person is going to get a job right after they graduate. It is sometimes hard for some graduates to find a good job because there is so much competition with other graduates as well. Sometimes they may get a job and it could be in a totally different field of what they got their degree for. They must find a job though to pay off all the debt that an education has given them. Many students feel that some classes are a waste of time and money because they learn nothing about their chosen field. They have to take classes that have nothing to do with their major but must take the class to meet the core education requirement of the college. If these students receive a less than average grade in a class they feel is unneeded then that lowers their overall GPA. The major reason of going to college is to get a good job.

The whole basis is to use logic and reason to ponder things in a philosophical fashion. This faith vs. reason debate involved Abelard and others who felt that god was in a persons being, or heart.

For the longest time it has been known that student athletes often miss classes. Moreover, athlete miss classes to attend practice, take part in competition and from exhaustion.

The government through the parliament passed a bill that saw the creation of the Constituency Development Act that was aimed to rationalize development across the country by ensuring that all areas across Kenya had a fair share of the money set aside for development. Through the various committees established in each constituency, students in the universities are able to access bursaries to aid them in paying school fees. This bursary is given to people who are needy and who cannot afford tuition fees.

In addition, internships are also very competitive; many opportunities may be available through campus job in one's field. Federal and state governments award "work–study" funding to all colleges and universities (McGuire). Campus jobs can be great for someone who wants to minimize driving expenses. Next, many general skills one may learn in college are essential to success. For instance, public speaking is a great skill to have. The ability to speak clearly and persuasively in front of people is one of the most important skills anyone can obtain. Dustin Wax explains, in the article "10 Skills You Need to Succeed at Almost Anything," that for many jobs, public speaking could be an important role. In addition, writing is an important skill for all subjects. Writing well offers many advantages. For example, good writers may excel at selling products and their ideas. Someone with a good sense of grammar has the advantage over one who does not. Finally, self–management is a key skill for a promising future (Wax). Balancing factors of one's life will dramatically enhance the output of one's future. Next, the simple fact is that some careers require a degree.

College Is a Waste of Time and Money Essays Hayley Drummond Professor Dill Tuesday, Thursday 8:00–9:15 Essay # 1 Summary September 10, 2011 Caroline Bird's essay "College is a Waste of Time and Money" explains her beliefs on why, for some people, going to college is an ineffective and inefficient use of their time. She states that many students do not belong in college because they are there for the wrong reasons and they are not happy learning. She also gives evidence to suggest that going to college and getting a degree does not actually allows a person to make more money in their life time. Her final claim is that college does not prepare most students for the real world and the jobs they will have once they graduate. Bird believes most students are not in college for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Bird's second point is that, contrary to popular belief, college is not the best monetary investment a young person can make. Bird explains this by comparing the money that would be spent on education versus money that is put in a bank for interest. The outcome shows investing money that would otherwise be spent on a college education would earn over half a million dollars more than the earnings of a male college graduate compared to a non–graduate. Bird also states that even if a graduate makes more money in their job than a non–graduate, there is no evidence that the higher income is due to their college education. She attributes financial success to luck rather than a college education. In this argument she mainly puts forth logical reasons why college is not for everyone. She shows actual dollar amounts that logically prove an education is not necessarily the most profitable investment. Bird's final point is that college does not prepare most people for the jobs they are going to have in the future. She states the work attached to most jobs is totally unrelated to their college education. For example, although there are many graduates with a psychology degree, there are only so many jobs in psychology. The remaining graduates are forced to find jobs with work unrelated to the degree they have obtained. Also, she brings up the point that college does not make people intelligent and successful, but successful and intelligent people go to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Or for the individual who find one's true interest, general education is more than worth the two years it takes to get through. So although the couple of years a college student spends in general education may seem useless, it is important to recognize the value of it. It helps individuals by showing them an array of possibilities that should be explored before one decides on his or hers life's career. It also builds interesting people who are not just specialists, but who have a better understanding and appreciation for the world around them. Even though, as explained previously, general education is valuable it does create stress for the student who is set on his/her major. For many students, especially those who go to state universities, the probability of graduating with a bachelor's degree in four years is highly unlikely. For those students who have to fight to get into the classes they need to graduate, general education is a villain. The victim of this system can't see the importance of taking a variety of courses. Zinsser recognizes this problem in his essay "College Pressures," which talks about the stresses that college students face.

A college degree will give me the knowledge base I need to compete in the workforce. College life makes it possible for students to meet and be acquainted with people from all works of life and to possibly build work contacts with these people later in life. It provides students with access to differing cultures, personalities and attitudes and provides students with the playground to learn to handle them. Due to the fact that a college student is exposed to varying subject matters, both in and out of his faculty, a student can demonstrate to his employee that he is better equipped to handle learning new concepts since he is more "well rounded" and knowledgeable in different areas, both in and out of his job scope. The efficiency at making and completing short, medium and long term goals, displayed by the student, allows the employer to ascertain how effective the employee will be at setting and achieving his goals and how effective he will be with time management and multitasking.
