Does "going to college" automatically mean you will be successful?

Is possible. Fifty years ago, only 7% of high school graduates attended university, but this is almost certain. Today, all of Tom, Dick, Harriet (over 40%) have registered. It may also cost you economic damage due to student loan debt. Or you may work at Starbucks. (More than half of the local Starbucks employees are graduating from college.) It depends on your planned achievement and your academic performance. Going to an American university today is a dangerous job.

If you are in the top 10% of your high school classes, if you have a marketable profession, if you can avoid too many student loans debt, You may stand on your feet.

The university is overrated. Only a quarter of people graduated and found a good job. Please consider the certificate of the market, not the university degree. (4-year university has "news agent", also known as special interest group such as educator, counselor, financial aid, pop culture figure, politician, university council, especially university administrator. Half of the graduates who have a bachelor's degree are hired or unemployed, which means that eventually market certificates will not be issued.

I am a faithful supporter of community college. That risk is much smaller. Unfortunately, there is no "news agent" in community college. With discreet hours and money investment, you can gain valuable qualifications and avoid "minimum wage / part time work traps". There are hundreds of certification available. My favorite is a robot maintenance engineer. It looks interesting, it brings full-time jobs and can pay $ 25 an hour.

Most importantly, understanding the university is no longer a magical social mobility tool. Going to college is not a ticket to make life a success. In addition, education generally does not automatically guarantee a high salary job and a safe career. This is a misunderstanding that I often observe, especially when I am quite surprised that employers have not caught up with college graduates. For all children of the university: Be aware that even if you are acquiring a degree, you must try to climb it from the bottom of the ladder. Just just make sure that they should get you closer closer to your final destination, even though your first job may not be what you ultimately want to do.

What does the diploma hanging on the wall mean? Can it guarantee you a successful job? Are you ready for the "real world" on the day you go up to the stage? You already know the answer. Going to college does not mean finding a good job. Having a degree prove that you can learn, that is it. Mission U recognizes that the most valuable learning comes from practice. The impressive thing that one third of MissionU's experience is to understand the real society, refine practical skills, and hone the qualities of leadership. Mission U also helps students understand the knowledge necessary to succeed in a job interview in cooperation with a major company. Existing partners such as Spotify, Uber, Lyft can also earn excellent graduates from this program. Feedback from these partners has made the program relevant to graduates and companies that eventually hire them.
