Should everyone go to college?

It is time to give up all the crusaders of the university. Just as making all Americans home of the Crusaders, it is more harmful than good.

Indeed, expansion of the university after World War II helped democratize elitist privileges. In 1940, only 5% of Americans completed the research of the university. Today, about 30% have a bachelor's degree and even 10% have an associate degree.

However, we exceeded the commitment of the university. It was a complete and ultimate goal of K - 12 school education. If you do not go on to university, you fail, but about 70% of the work requirements do not exceed the high school diploma. But in public policy, it has always been done to bring more and more students to the university.

First of all, we cheated the university. Even with lower requirements, the dropout rate for four-year schools is close to 40% of new students. Many alumni do not learn much. According to a survey, about four-quarters of students did not improve their analytical abilities even after four years.

Secondly, the high school college preparatory course marginalizes millions of students who feel that they do not do anything. The school is tired of them

Finally, we did not allow these students to prepare for production and living. If they are not interested in chemistry or English, it is still necessary to motivate them. Economist Robert Lerman says it needs to open another way to create valuable careers.

One approach is to establish a close link between high school and work by train- ing practicums in an industry such as a highly skilled manufacturing industry.

Employment-oriented school education is the most important task for the poor and ethnic minorities. But in reality, unless you train a lot of students to work without a university degree, they either have unlimited work or can not get any job at all.

Should anyone go to college? Recently I talked with a few people about this problem and many people soon realized that no one should go on to college. They explained that some people were not cut for college education. I do not agree, but it may differ from what I had imagined. For most of these conversations and dialogues we are trying to point out that there are people who simply do not have academic ability or 4 years college education.

One of the options when discussing why everyone should go to college is to use discussion on why everyone should complete high school. These include regular discussions such as acceptance of employment education and education as a citizen of a democratic country. Of course, there is an easy way to fight with these arguments. As a counterattack, for most (or at least some) people, high school education can be said to be sufficient for these purposes, so everyone should not go on to university.

Because not everyone can afford to go to college, it is possible to argue that not everyone should go to college. On the other hand, this is a reasonable answer. After all, those who can not afford to go to college should not go to college so that people who can not afford expensive sports cars should not buy it. On the other hand, the problem can be seen in another way. Use analogy to consider whether a person should seek medical treatment. Even though this person can not afford it (and in some way should not seek treatment), there is still reason to say that they should seek medical treatment for the disease. Likewise, even people who can not afford to buy a university may be a person to go to university. In other words, the cost of the university is obviously to consider when deciding whether or not a person goes to university.
