In this week’s reading, I found the reading from Boggs Dialectic to be really interesting. In the article, he stated “We must also never forget what reality
is constantly changing and that what may have been progressive at one stage is
not necessarily progressive as time marches on.”
This quote deeply touches me. I want to
compare it to college degree from now to before. Is college degree really worth the price? and does it guarantee a job security? College degree is something everyone desires, but not necessary. The society now we live in now is changing rapidly. Back in the day, a
college degree can guarantee graduates job security, but it no longer serves
the same purpose today. It is so easy to obtain a college degree now that
even upon graduate, lots of people still cannot find a job/career.
I feel like the world is changing. The
society is also changing. College no longer can guarantee students job
security. College student now come out of college with more debt than ever. The interest from these debts compounds while students aimlessly seeking for job/career. It would take probably more than 2 or 3 years for a college graduate to repaid the debt fully, that is if they can find a job.
Although the technology is improving, but finding a job is never the
same as before. This has become a serious issue for people to start considering
“if college is really the right route?” Higher education is no longer necessary to obtain a good career. College sold to the student the idea/dream that "Higher education means better JOB." This JOB may not be the same job we use to know, but rather defined it as Journey Of Broke.
