Rising Cost of Education
There was a time when a person from a low income family could believe he or she could attain the American dream without going to college. My eldest comrade began working at Chevy in 1969 he was 16 long time old, and he retired from Chevy in 2005. When he retired he sustained ternary homes, tether cars (one was a race car he built) a Harley Davis aim cycle, a huge mobile home and he boasted more than $100,00. 00 in the bank. He continued to live in Detroit until he died in 2011. The scarce problem my brother had was that he could barely read or write. 30 old age ago, a young person could work at a McDonalds, over the period of two socio-economic classs they would become a group Lead, and a year or two later they could be a Shift Manager. In a period of seven to ten years from the time this kid started, they could manage their own store. I did this and it only took me three years. I left food service because one day I wanted to Mickaole Walden, Ph. D. or M. D. I was going to b e an engineer, but macrocosm assaulted and left with a brain injury and Post Traumatic variant Disorder ended my military carrer it took me twenty years to accept that I no longer had an IQ of 137.It was made clear to me very archaeozoic I had to go to college. I first was told by my father that since he taught at N. I. T, The National Institute of Technology in Dallas, Texas that we would not sport to pay for my college degree. Later, when I got a poor grade in mathematics Theorem, I decided to go into the Military to bring down funding for aim. I oblige known many people who went into the military as a catalyst for information and funding for college. Today, having a way to finance ones statement is as essential as higher education itself. The inequality in education is evident.At the time Sociology in Modules was written only 11 percent of kids from low income families received a degree, this is compared with Children from families in the top quintuplet percent Income take aim which were at 53 percent. After children from poor families set down college weather they graduate or not, they are usually left with the nub of financial aid debt, (Schaefer 2011). Having a way to pay for higher education was not an issue that concerned me or my Pops with him being an Educator, and afterwards I completed military service and having access to the GI Bill.It was not until my young woman graduated high school that financial aid became an issue. I am currently paying off a loan for my daughter after she dropped out of Clark. She is now attending Georgia Perimeter College. I have nearly cleared one of my bank accounts to keep her in school until we can take out a loan or get a grant. Today, helping my young adult daughter attain grants and loans is distressingly important. My daughter could not care less because her fiance is financially secure and I am funding her education. She doesnt understand the importance of having her own source of income even if she does not need it right now.Earlier this year she and I were looking through a travel guide, she wanted us to take a one week vacation in Jamaica, (she whole kit and boodle less than full time as a waitress). She truly suffers from chimerical consciousness. Education is more than The knowledge or skill obtained (American Heritage dictionary 2001). Education is an opportunity for vertical mobility. Education is a chance for great socioeconomic status. In order to gain knowledge, skill and a level of greater earning potential, you have to be able to pay for higher Education.
