...Raju Professor Hays RHET 105 February 28, 2016 An Annotated Bibliography: “The benefits of a college degree does not outweigh the cost of it” Abel, Jaison R., and Richard Deitz. "Do The Benefits Of College Still Outweigh The Costs?." Current Issues In Economics & Finance 20.3 (2014): 1-12. Academic Search Complete. Web. 6 Mar. 2016. People who graduated with a college degree still questions whether college was a good investment for them. “Do the Benefits of College Still Outweigh the Costs?” addresses how students who graduated with a college degree are still unemployed and in debt. Furthermore, students have paid more to attend college and earning less upon graduation. This academic journal compares both the pros and cons of attending college. It contains graphs and illustrations that contribute more data about increasing tuition and how it affects your decision about whether to attend college. “The total costs to attend a 4-year college outweighs some people’s home value.” I thought this quote summarizes the academic journal very briefly. “Do the Benefits of College Still Outweigh the Costs?” is a scholarly source and an academic journal. The data in it is really reliable for my research paper. It contains graphs and illustrations which could be used to make conclusions. This academic journal is more biased towards the people who believe that the benefits of college do not outweigh the costs. I could potentially use this source to support my thesis more efficiently...

...Why College is Important to Me College is important to me for a couple of reasons. The reasons that going to college are important to me are so that I can prove to myself that I am capable of completing something as challenging as college and to show my children that no matter how long it takes, you can complete your goals and dreams. At the age of sixteen I dropped out of high school. I was not being challenged, the work was boring and the drama of high school was more than I wanted to be a part of. I had dreams of becoming a model and someday having a family. I began working immediately and was very happy. At the age of 18, I became pregnant and got married and soon had two children. I don’t believe that I am a typical college student, most students are looking to further their career or make more money; to find that new career. For me, it’s not about a new job or more money, but a sense of personal accomplishment and a desire to be an example to my kids. College View advises “more than ever, attending college provides opportunities for graduates which are not as widespread to those who have not received a higher education.” I didn’t believe that a college education was important. I thought that having a job, being a mom and being a functioning part of the society was enough. Until now, it was. I now have four children and each of them are starting their futures with a college education. I want to teach my children how important a college education is. According...

That is why in recent years high schools have started to encourage students to pursue a college education as well as begin to prepare the students for college. The current methods high schools are implementing offer general ways of preparing students for college that are often times ineffective and lack proper execution. Since college preparation is critical for high school students to increase their chance of successfully graduating from college, it is now more crucial than ever before to provide proper college preparation for tomorrow’s college students. However college preparation requires more than just helpful techniques for studying and teaching yourself. College preparation also requires a good amount of hard work and learning core subjects that form the foundation for which we build our knowledge upon in college. We are aware that the majority of future jobs involve science, mathematics, and technology skills to be successful in, that is why our tutoring subjects...

Would you characterize these decisions as structured or unstructured problems? Explain. What types(s) of decision-making condition would you consider this to be? Explain The most important in-game decision a baseball manager makes is when to relieve a starting pitcher. Today managers rely on various things example is a pitchers count this decides when a starting pitcher needs to be relieved. Baseball is full of decisions. Every single pitch is a decision whether it is a fastball or slow ball. The coach must make a decision on which players play on certain days and whether or not to take a pitcher out of the game. Most decisions in baseball are structured problems, they are easily definable.!n a structured problem, the goal of the decision maker is clear, the problem familiar and information about the problem easily defined and complete. for example, if a slugger keeps hitting the fastball, it's time to make the decision of pitching him a curve ball away from him in the strike zone. Is it appropriate for baseball managers to use only quantitative, objective criteria in evaluating their players? What do you think? Why? In my opinion evaluating the baseball player using only quantitative...

...CONSIDERING TRADE SCHOOL AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO COLLEGE The only conclusion that can be arrived at once reading the article “Why You Should Consider Trade School Instead of College” is that trade school delivers the most lucrative incentives for students. The incentive of this paper is to provide a synopsis of the reading. The compelling considerations the writer presents are derived from comprehensively offering comparisons and analysis. Coincidentally, such key factors: cost of tuition comparison, graduating challenges and percentages, length of time used to acquire a degree, and finally, the potential economic conditions with respect to the article where critically presented. The writer developed a targeted argument to underscore that while it was commendable and not only justifiable to attend a traditional four year college, there is more reason to justify trade school as the main choice to develop a career. Interestingly, the writer presents an argument that while options for future development are restricted due to the targeted vocational nature of trade school education as opposed to that of traditional college options. Coincidentally, it is within this context that the writer identifies the singularity of purpose behind why such a consideration is the most lucrative and the only reasonable considerable conclusion. Now that the paper has briefly introduce a synopsis into the context of the reading it will now develop and reinforce support for its position by relating the...

...Summary: “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” by Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus, presents proposals “that might begin to set things right’ (TSIS, 180) in education. Both professors, Hacker and Dreifus, studied institutions and interviewed higher education leaders, policy makers, and students across the country (180). According to their voluntary assignment, they acknowledged at first, their belief that “all Americans can do college work,” which basically provided a thesis for every proposal to follow within their article. Suggestions, such as persuading students to liberate their imagination instead of just focusing on a financial goal after graduating, or “replacing tenure with multi-year contracts” (181) so that all professors begin to take more initiative to improve, gave way to a deeper analysis of specific colleges and their priorities. My Response: In the article, “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” by Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus, both professors maintains a perspective that is convincing, to a degree. “We believe all Americans can do college work, so universal enrollment should be our nation’s goal” (180). In making this comment, Hacker and Dreifus urge us to do the obvious. Of course everyone should have the same opportunity to be accepted at the collegiate level, but there are several problems that have to be addressed and taken care of prior to the suggestion of this desire for all. If there was universal enrollment, will that lead to...

...College sports have always been enjoyable and entertaining to watch. March Madness and the College Football Playoffs are some of the most exciting sports events to view. The Super Bowl and NBA playoffs may be exciting too, but the key difference between professional athletes and collegiate athletes is that college athletes do not get paid. Many professional athletes play for money, so the passion may not be there. College athletes on the other hand, play for pride, their school, and for their team. The passion is obviously there, so it makes the game more intense, more energetic, and more intense. In recent years, a conflict has occurred as in deciding if college athletes should receive a salary or not. College athletes should not get paid...

Saving money is a hard task to accomplish though it always gives an impression that when things came up, there goes your savings. We cannot deny the fact that saving money is cornerstone of the successful money management plan. Without savings, you cannot expect to survive if something goes wrong. That is why we have to give emphasis on the development of having a good saving habit. If there is always an attitude of savings individuals would not worry about their future expenses even if uncertain things come especially with resource to finance. There are many ways on how people can save and develop a savings habit. . Moreover, due to the culture of the Filipinos, the Batangueños or the residents of Batangas City wanted to make a change for a better future.
