When
looking into life after college, students must think of the pros and or cons of
their professions. In my case, early childhood development, there will always
be a need for practitioners. According to the latest statistics there are 67,140
elementary schools in the United States, which would seem to grant me multiple
possibilities for being hired. If I don’t graduate, I will be forced to live a
life with fewer opportunities and with a much lower salary than that of a
college graduate.
In the essay “Death by Degrees” it states how China set
up a three level exam for the whole country. This exam, as a whole, was the
most challenging thing that Chinese students faced. With this exam in place the
main people who take it are those of wealth and high status, but when a young
man from a small and poor village goes to take the test and turns fails it.
This makes that boy, Hong Xiuquan, start to think about his future but he soon
realizes that he has no way of going anywhere, yet he is still persistent and
tries the test more times. When he fails in his attempts he soon gives up on it
all and converts from the ways of Confucius to the views of Christianity. With
this new lease on life he takes it to a completely different level and starts
the biggest revolt in the 19th century, the Taiping Revolt.
Today, it is becoming a must to have your masters before applying
for a teaching job. With the way teaching jobs are now, it is a necessity that
get to achieve a higher education to become more successful and to have the
opportunity to obtain a job. Most school systems wouldn’t hire a person with a
bachelor’s degree only. This relates to Death
by Degrees and the fact that we control our future and the hard work we put
into our studies determines how successful we will be for the rest of our
lives.
