College helps students dream of more than a salary
From the earliest days of our country, education has been seen as the foundation for our future. . Is investing in a college or university education still worth it?
. Students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not, well over a million dollars over a lifetime. But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure?
College is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking 一 from learning new languages to considering the arc of human history to diving deep into the building blocks of matter. It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently.
, One of the most important ways students learn at college is by interacting with people who are different from themselves. I recall a freshman who wasn't sure if he would ft in at a new college far away from his hometown. However, one night he found himself debating about the characteristics that define a real hero with other admitted students from around the world. , but the differences were what made the conversation exciting, and he realized how much he could learn at a place full of engaging people with a wide range of viewpoints.
College teaches students the virtue of slowing down. No one denies the value of speed, connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives (繁荣) on all three. But “thinking" is a word that is too often forgotten. College teaches students to slow down, to change information into insight and knowing into understanding. . The result is that students grow in knowledge and in wisdom for a lifetime.
To conclude, investing in a college or university education is well worth it.
A. College introduces students to a new world
B. Yet its value is being increasingly questioned
C. It remains the same nowadays
D. It develops critical thinking
E. They had a heated discussion
F. Not everyone agreed
