无论是美国还是中国,考大学都是千军万马过独木桥的一个难关。考上了大学往往还要支付高昂的学费。决定这些的是苛刻的就业市场,没有大学学位就寸步难行。观之今日美国的大学被种种弊端所累,不再是一心向学的象牙塔,倒更像开门做生意的店家,失去了应有教育的初衷。
It was only the other day when I asked myself the rather epistemological question: Is college really necessary?
When applying for colleges during my senior year, I thought college was simply another step in the process of life. First came elementary school , then middle school, high school, and finally college. I firmly believed college was the only option for me, and I thought it was the best decision I could make at the time.
After several eye-opening classes, professors, and stimulating discussions, I’ve realized that college may certainly be one of the biggest mistakes 18-year-olds can make.
The first of many drawbacks to modern-day college is the astronomical cost. Since 1980, American college tuition has risen about 75.7%. What’s more, the average student debt after graduation is $33,000. Is education this expensive even worth it? Putting an outrageous price tag on higher education is absurd, since it immediately deters low-income, struggling families from considering college. Even for the middle-class and upper-middle-class, paying college tuition is no easy feat . All of us college students are aware of the incredibly high price of our education, which puts many of us under unnecessary stress to do well. Additionally, these high costs have transformed college. Rather than being a haven for enlightenment, truth-seeking, and self-discovery, college is an investment.
