Is a higher education really needed.
What do you think about the new writing assignment? I have my own opinion about the writing assignment. I really think with the changes in times and economy has affected the needs for highter educationl. The level of education after high school is required for some jobs but not to measure success or the ability to do a job well. I know may well educated people with poor people skills or common sense. I also know uneducated people that are very successful, many of the more famous people in our society do not have a college education. I am not saying it is a bad thing or a waste of time. Rarely do you just become an engineer, or rocket scientist without some higher education or understanding. However you do need some experience and most jobs now they want people with experience over a degree. Even in management people hire and want people that can get results, managers of resources, to get the bigger bang for thier buck. Not just a degree on the wall. How do you feel?

I agree with most of what you are saying but I have noticed that the majority of jobs are looking for a higher education. Employers want to know that you are not just educated but that you will be committed. They see that you stayed with a long term goal and acheived it and that means something to employers not just that you have the knowledge and the understanding.
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on though. I too know well educated people who have no common sense and no people skills, or mininum of that. I have also seen people who don't have a formal higher education go on and be very successful and some become very wealthy in the process.
I think that the higher education opens more doors for you. It is not impossible to get an amazing well paying job with out an education however, I think that the options with an education are far more than with out. I really can't wait to see if I am right!
ReplyDeleteCan you guys find any evidence to support your point of view? You can get by without evidence in a blog, perhaps, but not in a formal paper.
