?Does The College Degree Worth

There is no doubt that degree is important. people need to join colleges and pay a lot of money to get a degree but does it worth? In my opinion, College Degree became worthless in the last few years. Companies nowadays require skills more than the degree.

I had read an article called” What’s the value of a college education? It depends’’ written by Jennifer Barrett,” talking about this issue and trying to show that college degree is very important. “While the labor market has been challenging for those with a degree, it’s been even more challenging for those without a degree”. I disagree with her. With the increasing value of faculty tuition, student loan debt, job inadequacy, and opportunities for entrepreneurship on-line is it any surprise that grads are wondering: “was obtaining my degree worthwhile”. If we are talking about getting a job and making money there is many ways to make it.

With most undergraduate degrees at public universities costing $26,290 (according to student support organization College Board, but does it worth it? With the non-guaranteed job, I think it doesn’t. With this money, people can start their own business and the chance to success is maybe equal the chance of getting a job.

Nowadays, employers are looking for a skillful employee. It’s their new criteria for hiring. Their first question is that” what is the quality that you are going to bring to our company? The answer to that question is something you don’t get it from college. They are right because they don’t want to pay the wages to someone who doesn’t fit their expectations.

6 years ago, The Great Recession effects in the labor market and it didn’t recover completely. The great recession affects the economic system in America and made a shortage in the labor market. In the last 6 years, many graduates couldn’t find a job. This cause graduates to work in small jobs. They called Over-educated and underemployed.

I can’t doubt that there is a high-paid. The most popular top-paying majors are STEM majors, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The average earns of these majors is 37,000-65,000 per year. There are many majors provide high earning and they didn’t mention in the article. For example, the Graphics Designer earns an average salary of $42,078 per year. Also, an actor can earn an average of $50,195 per year. As we can see there is no big difference in the earnings per year. There are more majors need skills like what I mentioned, and it can make a lot of money. I think that you can control your earnings. More skills have more money you earn.
