What+a+college....

In the first article i read, the imformation portained to what a college degree means in todays era, opposeded to what it meant in the past. In this article it discusses how before in the year 2008 people that had obtained a bachelors degree manage well and it seem to be enough for employers. But in today's economy a bachelors degree isnt enough to secure a job after college. It seems to me from this article that as time passes in this world, the more competive the job world becomes. This means to me that us as college students have to obtian higher degree's as a college sudent such as a master degree just to secure a job. Not only that, but we have to think outside the box in ways that will seperate us from the average college student just to secure a job after we get out of the school. This portaining to our ability to understand and perform a little above what we are expected to do when in a job field.

The second article also talks about the worth of a college degree. This article describes that even though one may become more knowledgeful from a college degree at the same time the aquire dept from college plays an equal part in aquiring a degree. What I got from this article was that in aquiring a college degree doesnt nessacary make one more qualified for a job, but the degree just looks more promising for potential employers. This article says to me that while many degree holding personel on average makes more money oppose to those who dont hold degrees, they also have a consideral amount of dept they have to pay off. The question that I have stumpled on is, is a college degree worth the dept? To me when i look back at my college years I cannot focus on the dept that may follow but overall the experiences I have grown and learned form while attending college. This portaining to the classes that one takes, the social networks built while attending school, and also skills you are able to learn or built on such as time management. To me a college degree is worth the dept one may aquire as long as they invest in their time.
