How To Escape the Community College Trap

The country's low cost, degree system created one century ago provides open and affordable admission rates to more diverse Americans, now 45% of American college students. . However, only a small percentage of people can obtain a degree and no one can get a degree right away ... Nationwide, less than one-third of community college enrollees have certificates Or get a degree.

This article is also 2 years old. To be honest, I do not know where my concept is. One thing I can not support is the implicit concept that traditional students of four-year school are on hand through this process. They started with a very wrong concept. On the contrary, most universities are more "your own" way. For me, the biggest difference that nobody acknowledges in these studies is that "students do not make choices." These references are not only used more than once, they are not mandatory.

Basically, you must be self-motivated in your mind to succeed in college. We have implemented such a program in our province, using Free CC as a hook. They are constantly looking for volunteer tutors to provide counseling and follow-up for 5-10 students through the application process, college admission guidance and CC first year. All of these are above all regular CC student services. If the student only has to fill out the application form and complete the task, what will be done in the future?

As I said, I am here during a good concept to help struggling students prepare for failures.

Very people will join the CC for various reasons. Common causes are technological quick authentication, bookkeeping, food service, CDL, forklift operation etc. These people are not planning to get a degree

Many other people will go to cc to transfer to a four-year university after studying mathematical terms. Again, although a degree has not been awarded, the educational goal has been achieved.

Others will join the class for general interest. They may participate in movie appreciation classes, carpentry work, car repair or similar activities.

Given all those participating in the CC for these reasons, the graduation rate of 33% is pretty good.

Weiss of Strada said that new graduates trying to find a good job to avoid or avoid unemployment prevention traps should try to find employment in areas where there is room for university level jobs . According to the report, assistant desk technicians and community health workers who recently graduated without acquiring a university degree are more likely to return to the right orbit than the people waiting for the desk. Mr. Hardiman said his first full - time job at his college was to work as a teaching assistant at an elementary school in the Roseland community in Chicago and was dissatisfied when working with third graders. Political science major who recently graduated from Morehouse of Atlanta recently declined a city councilor in nine wards and never thought of working in the classroom.

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.
