Why does society and so many parents act like the very best thing a high school student can do is go to a 4-year college and get a DEGREE …any degree …as long as it’s a “degree” and you can then call yourself a “college graduate”? The truth of the matter is that many of these college grads will NEVER produce much if anything as a ‘direct result’ of having invested 4 years of their life and a lot of other people’s money (including yours and mine usually). MANY will graduate with no real marketable skills, talents, abilities, experience or insight to enable them to do anything either for an employer or for themselves. The decent job that _some_ of them get will be in spite of and not because of their college degree.

On the other hand, those students smart enough to study a specific trade and get certified in it will have a marketable skill that will be their ticket to the good life. Their success ratio is FAR higher than the typical college grad with a generic non-specific undergrad B.S. or B.A. in something like English; history; sociology; political science; art appreciation; the humanities; etc. Today… a liberal arts education is almost worthless …UNLESS you’re using it as a ticket to a graduate program such as law school, etc.

In the world that we live in, several multinational companies tower over one another. It is not something to bring wonder to all as these occurrences form part of the goal to which everyone is geared towards-it is none other than global competitiveness.

You must not get the shock of your life when you see multinational companies springing form one continent to another, from one shore to another shore, and from one border towards another. In your most unexpected places, multinational companies may pop out and can also expand at any minute.

I’m finally going to be attending a four year university this fall or in the spring of 2008. I’m looking for a part-time job that pays fairly well. These past few years I’ve been working full time at low-paying retail or restaurants because I don’t really have many marketable skills. I have a bit of money saved up and I’m looking for something specialized that I can take a class or series of classes in so that I can get a decent part-time or start free-lancing. That way when school starts I will still have a decent amount of money coming in for personal expenses.

I’ve thought about website design. And at my community college, I will be able to get a certificate in a few months. The classes would cover the basics I need to get started and I already know how to design graphics. I did this I would try to cater to small business, entrepreneurs, small groups and clubs, etc. I’m not sure how this would work out, so I’m open for suggestions.
I’ve been out of school for the past two years working and payiing off debts. I’ve also saved up a bit so that I can pay out-of pocket for what ever my grants and scholarships couldn’t cover. So, room and board, tuition, books, are hopefully covered and I do not have to worry about those. What I’m really worried about is emergency cash, the little bit of debt that I wasn’t able to completely pay off and the small ongoing bills that I need to keep.
