Is a College Education Worth Pursuing?

Students have for some time said no: Sellgreen reports that, of a 15,000 strong poll, only 36% believed they were receiving good value for money from their institutions. Parents, increasingly, agree with them: it is reported that 60% of parents in the UK consider university education to be too expensive for what it offers. Employers' perspective is more difficult to track. Crouch and Goulding present a case that 'employers prefer to see experience on a CV rather than a load of educational merits', and in making the case for postgraduate study, they observe that such study 'does make you stand out a little more. Pretty much everyone now has a degree, but not many have a master's.'

Both statements may well have merit. Graduate employability is a contested field. De Grunwald argues that 'the push under the Labour government to get half of all young people to go to university has hoodwinked young people into thinking that if they get a degree, a well-paid job and high-flying career path will follow'. Perhaps it has. It can also be argued that the result has been an over-qualification of the workforce, to the point that a degree is no longer a guarantor of graduate-level employment simply because there are so many people with degrees pursuing them.

Although a report by HECSU indicates that 68% of graduates (of 256,350 surveyed) with first-class degrees are working, and the Complete University Guide indicates that a similar figure move into postgraduate study or a graduate-level job, this only covers around 50% of the total graduate population in a given year. In both cases, between a third and half of the student population have arguably not received a return on investment, in that they have not ended up with a job they needed a degree to do.

Of course, this assumes that they needed a degree to do those jobs in the first place. This is by no means a given. With so many graduates expecting a "graduate job", more and more jobs emerge which demand that applicants have a degree, whether the work involved requires that level of knowledge and skill or not - indeed, whether or not the work needs to be done at all. Graeber hints at this in his attack on the phenomenon of 'bullshit jobs', i.e. jobs which are known to be pointless by those who are doing them, and which do not require half the level of training and qualifications which are demanded of applicants.

The effort put into acquiring a university degree may be grossly in excess of that required by one's "graduate job", and in those circumstances is it surprising that a university education feels as though it is not worth the effort? For that matter, is it necessary to make the effort at all? If the point of university is to acquire a piece of paper which qualifies one to apply for a job, even if the process of acquiring the piece of paper over-qualifies one to actually do the job, is it worth seriously pursuing the course at all?

A university education should be specific and rigorous, honing a breadth of general knowledge and life skills into a specialist field, readying the student to contribute to an interdependent society. At present, a university education is all too frequently a formality: an expensive promotion from one sector of the labour market to another. One of these things is worth any amount of time and money: the other, for a substantial percentage of the graduate body, is apparently not.

Explain please. I didn't get your point. How does it relate to this site? Thank you.

To work within the community, bettering the lives of others .Short-term, I would like to work in direct patient care, directly affecting the lives of patients who need help while gaining experience in the field. Later, I would like to continue my education after becoming an LPN to become an RN, and eventually a nursing instructor. Teaching others to work with the same commitment and excellence that I hope to have achieved is a wonderful goal to consider, and I look forward to the day that I will be a qualified and experienced teacher as well as nurse.

Technical college offers me a flexible schedule and the ability to take courses that I can apply to the real world very quickly. I am looking for a specialized program that will allow me to enter the workforce as soon as possible while still preparing me well for future education, and technical college is the place to find it.

The world, I believe, is slowly veering away from the importance of a college education at all times. Save for some specific occupations such as law, medicine, criminology, and other information and training specific occupations, most of the jobs these days can be learned in real time. Online businesses have removed the need to actually know intricate details of business management and administration since the software takes care of most of that for the business owner. Some of these people start their businesses while they are still in high school these days. What do they know right? Wrong. They know a lot more than the college students sometimes do. Which means, college is not necessary for most people who are innovative, know how to spot an opportunity, and can deliver in a niche sector.

Perhaps college is also slowly becoming an obsolete educational need due to the evolution of Man in terms of intelligence. Toddlers these days are far more advanced than previous generations, knowing how to operate a tablet or a computer seemingly by instinct alone. It is also this instinct that has made them more creative, imaginative, and brimming with talent. Computers have made it possible for this generation to show the past / current adults how things will be done in the foreseeble future. They learn to use computer and code practically before they learn how to write their names or simultaneous with it. With such rapid development of intellect, there just may come a time when college will become truly optional for most young people.

The value of a generic college education has greatly decreased; but it's still a necessity to qualify for most decent jobs. College degrees that don't prepare graduates to enter specific high-demand fields aren't worth what they used to be worth; but college graduates (as a group) still get better jobs and earn, on average, a million more dollars over the course of a career than workers without college degrees.

Man is not currently "evolving" in intelligence, simply because the Darwinian evolution of intelligence would mean that members a species are increasing their chances of reaching reproductive age as a function of that increased intelligence. Global maternal and childhood health are increasing because of the increasing accessibility of clean water, sanitation, nutritious food, and basic health care in the Third World, not because of increasing intelligence. Furthermore, in this country, maternal and infant mortality are actually increasing not decreasing (and life expectancy is decreasing), mainly because of the unaffordability of quality health care in many low-income communities.

Children learn to use computers as toddlers simply because they're introduced to them as toddlers, not because they're being born more "intelligent" than their ancestors; and maybe only a few out of 1,000 become involved in computer programming. Computers and other forms of digital technology aren't much more than more efficient communications mechanisms; but without some kind of formal education, most of what's communicated on them is little more than useless gibberish. Digital technology will probably eventually result in a shift to online education just as it will probably result in a shift to online white-collar work; but the process of becoming educated and of acquiring a marketable standardized measure of specific levels of education through the award of formal educational degrees probably isn't going anywhere, much less just because kids are becoming computer literate as toddlers.
