...Cost and Benefits of Getting a College Education Abstract This paper is an analysis of pursuing college education, based on years 2004 to 2008. As a working professional, college education is one of the most important credentials needed in starting a career. Despite the limitations, a rational and ambitious individual would undoubtedly seek such a level of education. With the present economic conditions, the cost of getting a college degree is soaring high. Finances of the family are affected, not to mention the inflationary factor of prices and school fees. In this simple analysis, the costs of gaining a degree in college are identified with the provided assumptions below. With regards to the costs, the return or benefits are also given a high importance in determining the value of pursuing in college. Statement of the Problem This paper will focus on comparing the costs of getting a college education with the benefits it will earn within four years after graduation. Specifically, this study will answer the following questions (with 2004 as base year): 1. How much is the cost in today’s value of peso for pursuing a college education? - Based on a four-year undergraduate course 2. How much would I earn if I choose to work after graduating in high school and not pursue to college (forgone earnings or opportunity costs)? 3. Supposing this current year is 2004 and I have the lump sum amount of equal to the future cost of going to college, what would be its future value if I choose...

...Essay 1 “Should Everyone Go To College?” In this report “Should Everyone Go to College?” written by Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill, a senior research assistant in the center of children and a senior fellow in Economic studies and co-director of the center on children, spoke about how has been absurdly overrated. Owen and Sawhill reported in the first paragraph of the summary saying “By telling all young people that they should go to college no matter what, we are actually doing some of them a disservice” Their prove in the report is known to be 100% accurate because this proves were gotten from reliable sources like March CPS 2007-2010, Hess et al and some other reliable sources. The rate of return on education can be calculated by discovering the cost and benefit associated with a certain level of schooling, this cost will be made up of the cost of textbooks and stationery, salaries of all the staffs, cost of time and study, rent of land on which the institution is cited and some other expenses. The cost of education is very high so there is not much net benefit. In other words the higher the tuition of college education the lower the net benefit of attending. Owen and Sawhill's report says that “the correlation is not causation, and getting at the true causal effect of...

...Returning Wrestling to the University Imagine this, you are in the gym waiting for the first practice of the season to start. Your excitement is overwhelming. You have spent your entire life working up to this point; you are a college athlete. You are being paid to attend school and play your favorite sport for it. Your coach walks in with an upset look on his face. You think to yourself that it’s just going to be a difficult practice. Your coach actually tells you that you do not have practice today. You wont have practice ever again. Your entire life work gone, just like that. With your heart crushed, you cannot understand why the sport is just, canceled. You walk up to your coach and ask what the problem is. Your coach, as disappointed as you, tells you that the University board of athletics has decided to drop your “life” from the program to abide by the Title IX requirements and for not being a profitable program. This actually happened here at the University of Utah 50 years ago and it’s because there is a problem going on at Universities like The U and it is that men’s non-revenue sports, like wrestling, are being impacted negatively. Wresting is beginning to fade from colleges that are not in the Big Ten or the Ivy League, and Colleges like the University of Utah are participating in letting the sport diminish. In an article written by Coyte G. Cooper, “Involving the core product” “While there were 363 NCAA wrestling programs in 1981, the number of men’s wrestling...

...CHAPTER V Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations Summary and Conclusions The study attempts to determine the different factors that influence the decisions of 2nd year College of Business and Accountancy Students of the University of St. La Salle in choosing their major course. The study also seeks to identify the different benefits and descriptions of the courses offered in the said college. The research design used is descriptive because we tend to describe the facts in a factual way. There were 50 2nd year CBA students of University of St. La Salle who did partake in the study. The findings of the study revealed that the biggest factor that influences the decisions of our respondents is their family. According to our statistics, 30% of the 2nd year students answered that their families were the ones whom greatly influenced their decisions. We could say that those said respondents who said that their family is the one who influenced or chose the certain course they are going to take were really obedient students because they believe that their parent's knows what is the best for them. For some, they maybe forced to take up that certain course. The findings of the study revealed that a big chunk of the students population having 82% didn't want to be in the College of Business and Accountancy in the first place. Reasons for this kind of result may be caused of the unmaid minds of the students that they didn't know what college to enroll into when they entered...

...Assignment 2: Public University Analysis Professor JoEtta Malone Course Title ACC410006VA016-1126-001 September 3, 2012 One benefit that many employees either have or wish they had is contribution into a pension or retirement plan. From an accounting view point, there are many guidelines that need to be followed for companies or universities with these plans. The GASB has proposed changes recently that will affect the pension liability on the financial statements of universities and other non-profits. I have looked at the financial statements of the Ohio State University. The Ohio State University has two basic retirement plans available to their employees. The most popular plan is “covered by the Public Employees System of Ohio (OPERS)”. Their second plan is one in which the employee can “participate in” an “Alternative Retirement Plan (ARP)”. The major difference between the two is the OPERS is a defined benefit plan which includes contributions made by the employee, contribution matches made by the university and also other fringe benefits offered to their members. The ARP is a defined contribution plan that only includes contributions made by the employee and contribution matches made by the university. GASB has provided guidelines for Statement No. 67 and Statement No. 68 which make universities and non-profits account for future obligations...

...Many Cypress College students are unaware of the benefits that the student services offer. The students go through college without knowing how much the services would have helped. Cypress College does not try to emphasize their services to the student population, so the services go hidden in plain sight. Cypress should take the initiative to make these amazing benefits of the student services known to each and every student. Several student services that Cypress College is offering and that will be discussed are: EOPS, Puente Program, Student Activities Center, and Health Center. EOPS, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, is a student service that is offered at Cypress College. It is located on the second floor of the complex building by the center stairs next to the slanted structure. The program offers book services, counseling, and workshops that will guide students to a successful college experience.

...Adult Learning Theories Barbara Todd February 20, 2013 INFT101 Module 6 Summary Adult Learning Theories look at how life experiences of adults can affect their learning positively and negatively. Research shows that adults process information differently because of their life experience and a need for job skills. This research allows educators to guide adults through the learning process in a non-traditional manner. Both articles look at how adults learn new information and how professors can assist them in their learning process. According to Kenner and Weinerman, the adult student who is going back to school after being in the workforce needs to expand their skills. Adult students may have life experiences that regulate how they learn which may be insufficient for the demand of the scholastic atmosphere because our skills and experiences may hinder how we retain the information. This information will help teachers develop ways for adult students to fit into college life (Kenner and Weinerman, 2011). Merriam’s research focuses on how the adult student’s learning process is different today than 12 years ago, because more emphasis is placed on the history and sociology. Adult background and cultural is now considered an important element in comprehending adult students. The knowledge gained in a person’s job helps them react to the standards set and the setting that learning takes place in. Realizing how adults gain knowledge broadens the comprehension for how...

...Liberal Arts Education Now that I am in college, I have pondered upon whether a liberal arts education is better than a vocational education; a topic that did not cross my mind in high school. A liberal arts curriculum includes the studies intended to primarily provide general knowledge such as language, philosophy, literature, and abstract science and to develop general intellectual capacities, such as reason and judgment, as opposed to professional or vocational skills (merriam-webster.com). As students wanting to achieve a higher education, we have to think about what we want for ourselves. Either you want to grow as an individual and obtain a major in whichever field you chose, or just learn what best interests you. People have many misconceptions toward what the liberal arts are and how they can benefit you. We often hear things like, “A liberal arts degree will not get you a real job.” or “A liberal arts degree is a luxury not a necessity.” Although this is what the majority of the people who are not aware about the actual facts say, this is not true. An examination of, The New Liberal Arts by author Sanford J. Ungar, and Are Too Many People Going to College? by author Charles Murray, will reveal to us why one gains more knowledge at a liberal arts school. Murray argues that a liberal arts education is only for the elite, but I believe that they shouldn't be the only ones to attend because my vision of a liberal arts college is one where all students come in with the...

...According to the CDC report, obesity is one of the top leading causes of death in the U.S and it associated with many other diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular. United States prevalence data says that more than 34.9% or 78.6 million of U.S. adults are obese. On the other hand prevalence shows that17% of the U.S youth are obese (Ogden, 2014). Problems that associated with childhood obesity is that overweight child is more likely to become obese adult in the future (Ogden, 2006). Eating healthy and maintaining enough physical activity are recommended protective factors against obesity. However, intervention should be implemented to promote such behaviors (Lowry, 2000). FitKid project: It Augusta/Richmond County, the Medical college of Georgia FitKid project took place and made to fill low-socioeconomic-status youth’s after school hours with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity as a one of an effective programs on obesity reduction in children. Moreover, the program provide pleasure and improvement in games and sport activities. The program was funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases with $3,300,946.00. In the other hand, Augusta/Richmond County school districts and the United States Department of Agriculture are tow project partners. Intervention implemented in 2003 through 2006 in 9 elementary schools with participation of 182 youth who were at grade 3 at the first year through grade 5 by the end of the program. In a total...

... Tilley, an employee of the local college library, talks about the hours and, in some cases days of preparation that go into the process. The process involves preparing the paper, aligning the letters and setting up the equipment even before the printing begins. During Fines interview she talks about the art of the overall process by saying its “Craftsmanship adds value and meaning …” (46). Describing to her audience that Fine believes in taking pride in your work. Fine learns about the skills necessary to operate these antique print presses. (44-47). One way the author, Linda Fine, gives the reader a good mental picture of what she is experiencing is by describing the equipment used and how it works. Tilley explains that alignment of letters can be a conflict. Also, Tilley says “… humid weather can cause the ink to spread out, leaving text appearing smudgy and smeared” (45). Fine expresses her understanding for the great skill by comparing it to her sister’s experience. She related to it by saying “The scarf knitted for her friend had more meaning in it than a typical scarf purchased” (47). I believe this is a significant quote to the story, because it tells the reader that Fine is gaining an appreciation for the skilled craft of print pressing. In the first paragraph of Linda Fine’s article, “Bringing Ingenuity Back”. Fine should have used an opening sentence or thesis statement declaring where the essay was going, because it lacks direction and purpose...
