...There is a difference in getting a degree than applying for a job with only a high school diploma. The typical work life is from the ages of 24-64. Some people consider school to be boring, not entertaining and a waste of time. In the end there are useful benefits that can come from graduating from college. Not only can you make more money it will also set an example for friends and relatives. Recent studies show that someone that has a high school diploma is three times likely to live in poverty or on some kind of government assistance. College graduates are 2-1/2 times as likely to vote as those who haven’t finished high school. Also those with more education are more likely to exercise than those with less of an education. Half of high school graduates have employer-provided health insurance or pension plans but almost 70 percent of college graduates do. The key to making a decent living is having an education. High school graduates make about 180 dollars more a week than a high school dropout. Employees tend to offer permanent positions quicker to them than work contractors. Getting a high school diploma proves that the student is determined and ready to take advantage of an opportunity. It also prepares the student for work habits and prepares them to build career skills. College can be intimidating, the work seems impossible and parties are endless. Obtaining a degree will help broaden your career choices. It also changes the way of thinking and helps you make more...

...How does the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme promote learning? The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme was established to provide ‘the educational needs of globally mobile students’ (IBO 2012 p.3), allowing them to gain a recognised qualification to allow them access to further education in universities around the world. Beyond these very broad objectives the initial programme was based on three fundamental principles, which outlined the IB’s approach to learning: * to provide a broad education, establishing the basic knowledge and critical thinking skill * to develop international understanding and citizenship * to provide choice within a balanced curriculum to allow the students interests to be fulfilled (ibid). The aim as Peterson has suggested was to not to just provide a place for the ‘acquisition of general knowledge, but the development of the general powers of the mind to operate in a variety of ways of thinking’ (IBO 2012 p.4). This is expressed further in the IB’s Mission Statement which states its desire to create a better world through education, which it claims can best, be achieved through international-mindedness. It adds to this by stating that ‘the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (ibid). As with the other programmes, the PYP and MYP, the DP ‘promotes the education...

...1, What makes a good role model and how would I ensure that I acted as a role model for employees I supervise? I think a good role model is the person who leads from front line that is where the action is, they are visible, known and approachable. They set the example and actively, through their own behavioural attributes, support and the concepts of reliability, consistency, trust and adherence to ethical principles. If they want open minded and flexible employees, they need to be flexible and open minded themselves. I think the best thing employees like to have in a supervisor is the ability to show empathy toward employees and recognition for sure. Recognizing the employees keep them motivated and enthusiastic towards achieving new goals. 2, what are the traits of an effective leader? Do I have these traits? How would I develop the traits? I think the traits of an effective leader are, Communication, Motivating teams, Team Building, Vision and goal setting.

...that experience is more valuable than a college degree. Several studies show how much more a person can average on salary a year with a higher education. Unless you want to make minimum wage for the rest of your life college education can be valuable now more than ever before to having better opportunities in life. The Boston Globe stated on February 21, 2014 that “Young adults with just a high-school diploma earned 62 percent of the typical salary of college graduates. That’s down from 81 percent in 1965, the earliest year for which comparable data are available.” Showing that as the years progress, college education has been more valuable to more so now than ever before. How much you earn can impact your ability to support and provide for a family. Providing for a family of 5 might be harder to care for without the extra income a college degree would bring in. Though a college education may seem too expensive, the cost of living without one may end up costing you more in the future. High school diplomas are not as valuable alone as they once were 30 to 40 years ago. Our economy is now based upon the importance of knowledge and education. The work industry provides college educated men and women with better options and opportunities to succeed. Having a higher education doesn’t lose its value once you have started your career but in the future open up opportunities to promotion and higher salaries. Being...
