Here is a survey of the economic terrain just three months before you graduate from high school:
The national unemployment rate dropped to 8.9% last week.
The California legislature increased community college costs $10 a unit, making a 12 unit semester cost $432 dollars. Costs and four-year colleges are escalating as well.
While the military offers various opportunities, you are obligated to serve for a specific amount of time and you may be sent to one of the several active war zones.
For profit private institutions such as Heald and DeVry are very expensive and have been under scrutiny by the federal government.
To summarize: the employment outlook may be improving while college costs continue to rise. The military, as usual, provides some opportunities but it also controls your time. What route do you see yourself taking and why? What are the opportunity costs and trade offs of your decision?
Where will you be one year from now?
i believe in one year from now, i will be on a community college and playing baseball. i want to go to college and stay in college and get a degree in criminal justice. this can take away time from hanging out with friends and having fun, but its all worth it in the end. when im older and i have a successful life. i plan on working hard at my oppurtunities and succeeding in life.

I would like to attend the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. If I am accepted there, a year from now I would be declaring my major and beginning to plan how to spend my five year service commitment. The pros of the academy include but are not limited to a $400,000+ education for free, the opportunity to travel the world and learn new things (like skydiving and flying) at no cost, a guaranteed job out of college, and not having to pick out outfits for the next nine years :)
ReplyDeleteMy next chapter in life will take me to Oregon, where I will be spending the next 4 years at Willamette University which is a private college in the heart of Salem. While there, I will take courses to earn a bachelor's degree in exercise science that will contribute towards my goal of becoming a physical therapist. I will also be playing Division III football for Willamette!
ReplyDeleteI see myself attending a UC or a private university and getting a degree in engineering. Although tuition is rising, nothing can beat a college degree and there is plenty of opportunity for engineers to land solid jobs right out of college. If I attend a private university I am probably going to need loans, but I believe that a degree from an established university makes it more likely to get a solid job that will allow me to pay off any debts within a few years of graduating (providing I live frugally). The military is great and an education at a college such as West Point is definitely top notch, but I think that my freedom of choice as to where to live and when to move for up to 5 years is too much to give up.

one year from now i see myself at a four year college working for a degree in accounting or trying to become a physical therapist. i know that the college tuition is rising but with a degree in your hands, a lot of businesses wont pass you up. i have great respect for every person who enters the military, but i do not want to enter it. i want to stay and get a degree so i can start my own family and provide for them. if i attend a four year college then i will be losing a lot of spare time in my days. i wont be able to hang out with friends or go see family, but in the end, its all worth it.
ReplyDeleteMy plans for after highschool is to go down to San Diego with my sister and start my life down there. I plan to go to college down south if I don't get into UC Davis. But if I do get into UC Davis then I may stay here. I have a lot of decisions to make really soon that will determine where I end up.

I plan to get my Bachelors degree majoring in kinesiology, while getting certified as a personal trainer under a gym, and in the future, hopefully being a free lance personal trainer. i do not really have any trade offs, i cant join the military because of medical reasons, so my path is set, and i am content with it. In one year i can see myself going to college, working part time, and possibly moving out.

ReplyDeleteI hope to be at CalArts a year from now, but that all depends on if I got in. While art school is different from university, we all had to work our tails off in different ways to ready our applications, with slim chances of acceptance. If I don't get in, well, I could go to a far less appealing back up school, or wait a year and apply again after taking a year at a JC (though, with art school, that won't change the fact that I must spend 4 years at CalArts, no matter how many credits I get out of the way first), while working, and then go there......if I get in the second time.
Ah, gosh, now I'm freaking out again.

After earning a Bachelor's degree, I will have to be tested to become certified and get an interior design license. After that, I plan on studying to get a real estate license too.
ReplyDeleteHonestly military is the best choice but for me being away from how would be to hard for me so I'm probably not going to do that however, yes going to the military could be every dangerous but if your going to die you will die in war or even being here you never know what happens next in your life so it pretty hard to say what im doing after high school but so far plans are to go to collage and waste lots of money and try to become a nurse.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about getting a job, sure it would be nice to have a little extra money here and there, but after watching friends and others struggle to find work, what chances do I have? My parents have also never pressured me to look for work because they've always been able to give me money whenever I needed it. However, maybe if the job outlook gets better, its something I'd consider. This summer I will be attending the Art Institute of Sacramento, tuition is $24,000 a year and they only way I'd be able to afford it is if I apply for billions scholarships, grants, and loans - just a huge pain in the butt, but in the end it will all be worth it.

After receiving my Bachelor's degree, I plan to continue on with my schooling and eventually get my Master's. While in school, I plan to get a job to help pay for food, insurance, gas and an apartment. I have no desire to join the military, partially because I know that I am just not cut out for it.

I'm relying on grants and scholarships to pay for college. Im also lucky enough to be Native American and I'm registered as an official member of my tribe. Some of the rewards include money for college, its also pretty cool that my tribe will pay for any type of uniform and or tools I may need for a job.

But I most definitely won't go into the army, too many family members have done that and I wouldn't like it.
I believe that one year from now, I will most likely be in some sort of college, yet at the same time, teaching myself some foreign languages and working on my writing and art work independently. I think that I probably would pursue a career that does not require college, but it would help to have extra knowledge. I'd like to attend a college and maybe study Japanese, or take some classes on art and creative writing, so that I have an option on what career choices I can work with in the future.

I see myself going to a four year college and trying to find out what i want to do with my life. Either that or go to a JC and transfer later on.
ReplyDeleteA year from now I'll be attending a community college completing my general ed before transferring over to a 4 year. This decision was made based on saving money and figuring out what I truly want to major in. -G.Lathipanya Sloan P2
ReplyDeleteI see myself attending either a UC or a private university. Although tuition and other fees are rising, nothing can beat a college degree. Having a college degree opens plenty of job opportunities. Although college will be expensive their are student loans available.

A year from now i plan to be at a 4 year university, i really do not know what i will major in.; i will probably be working to pay some of my tuition. The opportunity cost of college will be the large amount of money and time.

well right now i just see myself working because i don't plan to go to collage but the important thing to me right now is just graduating because i just want to get though with school

One year from now, I will be at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, probably cramming for some test or other. I feel that the money spent (though it will surely be a lot) and the student loans I may have to take out will be well worth the education and invaluable experience going away to college will bring. I will also work on or off campus to help pay for college.
ReplyDeleteMy plan for the future is to stay in the area (whether moved out or not) and go to community college while still holding my part time job. I chose this route because, for one, of course it'll save money by attending the least expensive school for as long as possible and not having to pay room and board. Additionally, I am still undecided on a major so I don't want to waste more money than I have to on units if I end up changing my plans. For two, I have family-related reasons that I'd like to stay in the area instead of going off to a four-year college or the military. Regarding employment, I enjoy not having to ask my parents for money all the time and actually being able to somewhat contribute to things so I don't see me quitting my job any time soon. For the reasons stated, I see community college and work in my future.

a year from now I will be a famous unicorn wrangler with a clothing line that strictly sells only rainbow ponchos. I will have successfully invented the first fish powered car and I will be a catrillonair. And most importantly, Randy Jackson will be my chauffeur.

I would rather have a job, and pay my way through college. The military does offer many opportunities also including the help with financial needs. The only problem with that is that I have to give up a certain amount of my life to go and fight in a war. There are mNy things that can happen in a war zone. I could loose my life. I would much rather feel the physical hardships of working to pay for college than loosing my life. My opportunity cost is my life.
ReplyDeleteAs i look towards the future, I see myself attending Sac State where I will be furthering my education in becoming a lawyer. I haven't decided on which law school I will attend, but overall it should be an acceptable one. College tuition is alot these days, but with the aid of student loans and grants, I believe that I can truly experience the great oppurtunity of attending Sac State.
ReplyDeleteAfter high school, I plan to attend Delta College for two years to get my general education. From there, I plan to transfer to Sacramento State to receive a Bachelors of Science degree. I much rather have to pay for college and be able to get a good job than risk my life fighting for my country. I’m not the fighting type of girl, so the military wouldn’t be a good choice for me.
ReplyDeletewell il hopefully be going to college working somewere. not sure were. but if i cant seem to settle down iv always thought of joining the air force. the only downside is id have to be sent away for a long time and i wouldnt see my family and friends for a while. but on the other hand ill have something great to put on my resume. but as of right now im not sure.
ReplyDeleteI still see myself going to a community college (CRC) and getting my general education out of the way, and then going to a university and doing my major. I don't really see any trade-offs or anything since that's just about the best option possible at this time. In one year, I see myself in CRC worrying about all my classes I'm taking in there and trying to get my homework done and possibly having a work to help pay for college.

My plans after high school is to go to college or the university yet because of the rising cost it will be hard. Yet the cost would be to gain an education and have a better job opportunity. yet there can be a negative effect and i could be left with a degree in a nation that has a lot of unemployment and a be left debt. But as soon as i graduate i plan to move and hopefully get a part time job.
ReplyDeleteI will be taking the college route. I realize that tuition is rising, however, there are many options to save and borrow money. I will most likely pay for most of my tuition. Rack up a huge bill pay later. The cost of education is far less than not attending at all. I love food and business so i will be combining the two when choosing my career. Architectural engineering is another career I would like to pursue.

I plan to go to college and major in Kinesiology. While in college I plan to play baseball. After college I plan to get either a masters or doctorate in physical therapy so that i can become a physical therapist.
ReplyDeleteI should be attending CRC in the fall, and try to earn a degree in the medical field of some-sort. I'll be aiming for a master's degree in order to achieve these goals, so after 2 years at a community college, I'll transfer to either Sac State or Folsom :)
ReplyDeleteOne year from now i will be in riverside attending cal baptist university. At the moment my major is music, but could be subject to change. Going to private college ensure that i'll have all the classes i want when i want it.
ReplyDeleteAlso i want to start a new chapter in my life to experience living with other college roomies and without parents.
Well i have alot of plans but im planning on going to CRC and playing soccer then transfering to sac state and also playing there.Later on in life I want to major in electrical engineering because i like to work wit electricity.

In a year I imagine myself going to crc community college. I am also thinking about going to the Marines, but I do not think that that is the route for me. I would rather go to college because I will have a better chance of getting a job in the future.

Breana spiro sloan p.4 even though I know I wil struggle I plan to go to a state college and my opportunity cost wil be that I will have a better chance of getting into a medical college but I will have to pay more but its worth it
ReplyDeleteMy plan in life is go to delta and become a teacher that will take a good 3 years... but hey it will take time but delta collage will cost way cheaper then a 4yr. college .. yes military you are require a certain amount of time that u must be in it for but you are serving the country and its your choice but college you can quit at anytime..

I plan on taking classes at a community college first and then transfer to a university. The opportunity cost of my decision is I'm choosing to go t community instead of going straight to state while the prices aren't too ridiculous yet. A year from now I see myself taking classes to transfer to a university.

My plan is to go to college part time and having a job so i can pay for all the stuff that i need. It will be tough time but at the end it will be worth it.

To me it seems like the government is trying to get more people to be involved in the military if they are offered so many options when trying to decide on college when most people have to pay a lot of money to go to school. I believe it is fair for the men and women serving in the military get free schooling but i don't believe things should be made harder on those who don't choose to serve.
