Education is
viewed as a key part of the lives of Americans.
Children are placed in school early on and are usually expected to stay
enrolled until they have earned a college degree. Without a college degree in this day and time
adequate jobs are few and far between.
Personally, if I were unable to attend college, I would be faced with a
grim outlook as far as occupations go.
Receiving a
college education has become more crucial than ever. Today, it is hard to find a decent job
without some kind of degree. As stated
in “Death by Degrees,” even the presidential cabinet is composed of a majority
of people who have obtained an education from an Ivy League school. Unless a person wants to work in the
restaurant or cleaning business, most other fields of work require a college
degree. Because of this accreditation
requirement, many people are unable to obtain a decent job. It has become increasingly harder for certain
groups of people to continue their education because of their
circumstances. Single parents and older
people often have a harder time getting a degree because the odds are against
them. It is hard for a single parent to
concentrate on school work while raising a child. Older people have generally been out of school
for such a long period of time that it hard for them to get back “into the
swing of things.”
Relating to
me, college is definitely an important part of my life. Without going to college, I would be unable
to fulfill my dreams of becoming a nurse.
Because my ambition requires a higher-level education, I am being forced
to go to college (not that it’s a bad experience). Had I been unable to attend college, my
future would be grim. I feel as though I
would not live as happy of a life as I plan to because I would not be doing
what I believe I will enjoy.
After
reading “Death by Degrees,” I am more able to comprehend the importance of a
college education. A lack of college
education can lead to inferior jobs. Even
a bachelor’s degree may eventually become a bare necessity. Although college may be trying, it is
important to the future because one day, a degree may be a requirement for
every job. Credential requirements for
all jobs are not good because the value of college degrees will quickly
diminish upon implementation of this prerequisite.
