                                         Is College education worth the costs

                   College education is a long term investment that pays off  in more ways than one. The first reason is that college graduates earn significantly more over their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma. According to a survey conducted by the US Census Bureau, individuals with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $1 million more than those who only have a high school diploma. This higher earning potential translates into a better standard of living and more job opportunities for college graduates. Another reason why college education is worth the cost is that it offers a broader range of career options. With the increasing demand for skilled labor in today’s workforce, a college degree provides a competitive edge when it comes to securing a job. College education offers students the chance to explore various fields of study and gain the skills and knowledge required to succeed in their chosen careers. In addition, college prepares students with valuable critical thinking and problem solving skills that are applicable to any profession. Investing in college may be costly, but it pays off in terms of financial stability, career opportunities, and personal growth. 

              This article “College May Not Be Worth It Anymore” by Ellen Shell on page 33 disagrees that College education is worth the costs. She said College students ages 25 to 29 now hold at least a bachelor’s degree, and many paid heavily for the privilege. By last summer, Americans owed more than $1.3 trillion in student loans, more than two and a half times what they owed a decade earlier. Young people and their families go into debt because they believe that college will help them in the job market. People who have dropped out of college about 40 percent of all who attend earn only a bit more than do people with only a high school education, $38,376 a year versus $35,256. For many, that advantage is barely enough to cover their student loan debt. African American college dropouts on average earn less than do white Americans with only a high school degree. Meanwhile, low income students of all races are far more likely to drop out of college than are wealthier students. Even with scholarships or free tuition, these students struggle with hefty fees and living costs, and they pay the opportunity cost of taking courses rather than getting a job. Disturbingly, black and Hispanic students are significantly less likely than are white and Asian students to attend elite colleges, even when family income is controlled for. Students from wealthy black and Hispanic families have a lower chance of attending an elite college than do students from middle class white families. College graduates born poor earned on average only slightly more than did high school graduates born middle class. By middle age, male college graduates raised in poverty were earning less than non degree holders born into the middle class. Students from poor backgrounds have less access to very high income jobs in technology, finance and other fields. Nearly 30 percent of Americans without a high school diploma live in poverty, compared to 5 percent with a college degree, and we infer that this comes from a lack of education. But in 28 other wealthy developed countries, a lack of a high school diploma increases the probability of poverty by less than 5 percent. 

                  This article Paying it forward makes higher ED worth the price by Daniel Rivera-Ibarra on page 40  agrees that College education is worth the costs. It says that the more we invest in our own success, the more we can invest in the stability of our families and communities. If one family member graduates from college, it proves to everyone else in the family that they can also accomplish their goals. I want to leave a path for the next generation to follow. A college education is what will help continue my journey to success. I define success as realizing my full potential and helping others find theirs along the way. That’s how I plan to leave a legacy and that is what makes college worth the price tag. In order to defend the case for college, we must continue to build support for low income, first generation students and students of color. We can do this by offering more flexible options for students to pursue college in ways that work for them, providing ongoing financial and social support for students, and embracing conversations around college and financial aid from earlier in the process. By investing in these areas, our students and communities can continue to see the greatest benefits of a college education and know that the investment is worthwhile. Concurrent enrollment helps students adjust to a new classroom environment while also providing college credit, which saves money in the long run. The faster we finish college, the less money we must spend, and the more money we can save to help our families. Having the option to complete college coursework while still in high school prepared me for greater success with less financial strain. High schools and colleges should work together to provide more academic bridges like concurrent enrollment to help students graduate from college in a timely manner, and on their own terms. A college education turns our goals and dreams into reality by helping students like me understand and improve the world around us, while having a lasting impact on the community.

                    This article: What does it mean to be a college grad? Jennie Le on page 43 agrees that college education is worth the costs. Jennie said that while I considered hanging up my two diplomas, she believed that having a bachelor’s was so standard and insubstantial, only a professional degree is worth hanging up and showing off. In previous decades, stats still show that those who earn bachelor’s degrees are likely to earn twice as much as those who don’t. Also, only 27 percent of Americans can say they have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Realistically, having a college degree will likely mean a comfortable living and the opportunity to move up at work and in life. My degrees validate my mother’s choice to leave Vietnam. She moved here for opportunity. She wasn’t able to attend college here or in Vietnam or choose her occupation. But her hard work has allowed her children to become the first generation of Americans in the family to earn college degrees. Being the fourth and final kid to earn my degree in my family, my mom can now boast about having educated children who are making a name for themselves. For me, this degree symbolizes my family being able to make and take the opportunities that we have been given in America, despite growing up with gang members down my street and a drug dealer across from my house. This degree will also mean that my children will have more opportunities because of my education, insight, knowledge, and support. 

               The Gale Business library database says that After six years of increasing negativity, Americans are feeling more optimistic about investing in a college education according to the latest COUNTRY Financial Security Index.With the economy and financial sentiment rebounding in 2015, this is the first time Americans' thoughts on investing in a college education have moved positively in the last seven years. Fifty-two percent of Americans currently believe a college education is a good financial investment, up from 48 percent in 2014. However, Americans are still far from reaching the pre-financial crisis levels of optimism. In 2008, 81 percent of Americans felt strongly about investing in education. "The vast majority of college graduates (83 percent) are glad they invested in a college education," says Joe Buhrmann, manager of financial security at COUNTRY Financial. "While this might not be consolation for soon-to-be college students weighing the costs of higher education, there are ways to help lower the near-term financial burdens and maximize the long-term benefits a college education provides."

      The compromise will be Expand financial aid options: Explore ways to make college more affordable for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. This can include increasing need based grants, scholarships, and work study opportunities. Additionally encourage colleges to offer more merit based scholarships to attract talented students and reduce their financial burden. Increase transparency: implement policies that require colleges and universities to provide clear information about the potential return on investment of different degree programs. This will help students make informed decisions about their educational choices and minimize the risk of taking on excessive student loan debt.

 

             In conclusion, College may not be worth it anymore argues that the rising costs of education and increasing student loan debt make college less worthwhile. On the other hand, “What does it mean to be a college grad? Suggests that earning a bachelor’s degree leads to higher earning potential. A compromise that both sides can agree on is to focus on improving the value and affordability of college education. By increasing transparency, enhancing vocational training, expanding financial aid options, fostering partnerships between academia and industry, and promoting lifelong learning, we can address the concerns raised in the first article while acknowledging the benefits highlighted in the second article. This compromise has validity and merit because it acknowledges the rising costs and financial burden of college while also recognizing the potential for higher earnings and career opportunities that a degree can provide. It finds the balance between the two perspectives and ensures that college education remains a valuable investment for students.

PLS HELP!!

Using Spanish resources as much as possible, research a famous historical and/or present cultural figure from a Spanish-speaking country including Latinos in the USA. 

Research one of the following noteworthy people:
Gabriel García Márquez
Valentina Ramírez Avitia
José Octavio "Chepito" Area Dávila
María Eva Duarte de Perón
Rita Moreno

In two well-developed Spanish paragraphs (4-6 sentences each), write a brief biography of a famous Latino/a. 

In paragraph one describe where your person is from, and what line of work they do/did.  
Include interesting details about the person's life and events that the person has/had experienced that are significant.
Give a time frame of when these events occur(red). 
Keep in mind, events that happened once use the preterite tense. Something he/she used to do or that occurred frequently in the past uses the imperfect tense.   

In paragraph two describe his/her important contributions to their country, to Spanish speaking culture, their career, etc. 
What made this person famous or historical? 
Why do they stand out above all the others? What was noteworthy? Llegó a ser famoso/a por...
If this person created something (art, music, legislation, literature), what are your thoughts about a particular work?
If this person liberated or fought for something, what is one question you may want to ask them? Quiero preguntarle...

Use outside sources (Internet, books, magazines, etc.) to gather information for this assignment. However, be sure not to copy the information directly from those sources. Copying information and presenting it as your own work is plagiarism and will result in a failing grade. You will need to rephrase the information into your own words, and cite the source of the information you used. Use the knowledge you have to build on your skills.
