How important is college to Americans?
College is becoming essential in order to achieve jobs now! When my parents went to college, they could have graduated high school and received similar jobs that they received upon graduating college. High school graduates could obtain decent, normal-paying jobs without worrying about a college degree. Today, college degrees are necessary for many, many jobs--high school degrees are not what they used to be.
Consult the following article from the TIMES:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/magazine/25wwlnlede.t.html?_r=1&ref=education&oref=slogin
In Christopher Caldwell article above entitled "What a College Education Buys," he states that "In 1979, according to the economists Frank Levy and Richard Murnane, a 30-year-old college graduate earned 17 percent more than a 30-year-old high-school grad. Now the gap is over 50 percent." College degrees are becoming more important to have now-a-days.
I think it is good that more students are going to college now than they have been in the past, but I am just concerned with how high colleges are costing students and parents now. Tuition prices rise more and more each year; I fear for what the prices will elevate to when I have children of my own who I want to send to college. These college loans are going to haunt me for decades...
On the upside, at least more students are becoming more educated. Friedman would argue that our youth needs to become more technologically literate in order to compete with growing, surrounding nations. Colleges are becoming increasingly technologically literate and are aiding young adults to become great competetors in the job field both locally and nationally. Sending more students to college is a great investment for the future of our nation, but it is becoming quite costly.
With more students going to college, we need to prepare more students for college. Especially, we need to prepare them technologically for a different academic atmosphere. Teach students how to research academic articles on library search engines. Teach them how to navigate credible sources on the internet. Get students to publish on the internet to begin to interact with others across the nation and the world. This, at least, is what we can do as teachers to help our students transition into a highly competitive college setting.

Nice post on this topic Jami. This isn't a new question but I think there are new answers. You suggest some of those new answers as it becomes increasingly imperative for global citizens to have access and the knowledge to use that access to compete with workers around the world.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
