1. Would attending a Community College or a University be more beneficial when you have a job?
One of my teachers at Warren High School mentioned something about this, but I wasn't sure if this was entirely true. He stated that, "If you're good, you're good," this was his comment about where you attend college being irrelevant. Before really thinking about it I would agree with him, but as I began to think more about it I no longer could agree. If you and another person were trying to be a lawyer and had both studied law but one of you attended a community college and the other Harvard. The obvious choice would be the one who attended Harvard, simply because it is a University and thus has more Prestige for being one of the top Universities in the world.
2. Would it be helpful to take a year off after High school before attending College?
Personally if I had the choice to do so and there were to be no consequences I would definitely take a year off. But I don't think this is the case. At least for me I know with this time off I most definitely would not be studying to remember anything that was taught to me, I wouldn't be worrying about school at all. And because of that I will forget a lot that was taught to me and when it came time to enroll in classes and had to take some placement tests, I would probably fail them because I don't remember. This will just set me back and take more time to graduate and receive my degree. It will only be a hassle and an inconvenience to me.
Well you can go to a community college and take all of your general ed classes, then transfer to a prestigious school. All of your classes will transfer over which would save you a ton of money. Taking a year off is not a smart idea because you will forget everything you learned in high school. It is better to go straight into college and get it over with.
ReplyDeleteI believe getting an education from a university will show that you are a skilled and educated person. Universities are prestigious and therefore will create a good image for you. I agree with you that taking a year off will definitely not be beneficial. I would forget everything that has been taught to me as well.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it really depends on what job you plan to take, because some jobs may not require a much higher education from a university. For example, I learned that becoming a physical therapy assistant usually takes two years of study at a community or a private college. I recommend that you do not take a year off after high school. Even though the education you learned from high school may not be applicable to what you will study, it's the educational routine, that you have been used to for the past 13 years, that will be forgotten. You do not want to start off your college experience totally oblivious of what is happening around you, or start complaining that things are already getting hard.
