Why people attend college?

After graduating from high school many young people have the option to directly enter the work force.Most student who have the opportunity ,however,decide to go to college before finding jobs.They attend college to obtian more choices,higher salaries,and more opportunity for advancement in an increasingly competitive job market.

Before attending college ,students have a limited opportunity to specialize.After obtaining a specific colllege degree a job applicant can be competitive for previously unavailable jobs.For instance,applicants with Computer Scientce degrees would not only be qualified for jobs in higt-tech companies,they would also be well prepared for any job with computer skills as a prerequisite.With a larger range of potential jobs to choose form,degree holders are more likely to find a job that suits their particular needs and interests.

Additionally,employers are willing to pay a premium for highly qualified applicants.For example,many companies desire employees who are competent in more than one language and offer highter salaries to attract them,Even if a job applicant without a college degree has highstandardized test scores,employers may stell place a higer value on an applicant with similar test scores who also possesses credential from a well-known university.Because of the extent to which a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field ,college graduates are not only more likely to receive more job offers,they can also command higher salaries than applicants who lack college diplomas.

Finally, in addition to offering more choices and higer salaries,a college degree offers access to jobs with a clear path towards professional advancement.ABS.in biology,for example,could allow a student to find a job in a lab after graduation, a frist step on road towards a career in scientific research.The same major could also be used to apply to medical school,and a career as a doctor.Both of these avenues would be unavailable without taking the first step of an undergraduate degree in biology.

Should we pay attention to the opinions of famous people?

It is only in the last hundred years that the "star" phenomenon was born.Proir to 1900,there were no famous entertainers in today's sense.Fame was held for political officers.However,today,the people who appear before us either on a court,a stage, a field or a sreen, are in fact more famous than many political officers.Many people listen to these famous people and act as if their word was gospel.However,I do not think this is correct behavior.

Stars should be treated with respect,but their opinions should not count for any more than a regular person's opinion.Becoming a star does not automatically endow a person with limitless knowledge.Stars must do research to form hteir ipinions,just like the rest of us,It is no more or less likely that a star will have a valid opinion on a subject than a friend from school.

In many cases, when stars state their opinions,they are not telling the world how they truly feel.Many famous people will only make announcenments that their publicists have approved.Therefore,in many cases, it is not the stars' opinions that we are hearing at all,but in fact,that of the corporation that they work for.

I believe that the only time that we should really value the opinion of what a star has to say more than we value others' opinions is when the star is talking aoubt a subject that he/she specializes in .For example, if a basketball player is giving his/her opinion on how his/her team will do in the play-offs,then one should probably take the opinion to heart.Eeveryone has his/her own field of expertist,If stars ,or regular persons for that matter,are talking about their professions,they are bound to have extensive knowledge on the subject.

In conclusion, i do not thnk that we should listen to the opinions of stars unless they are speaking on a matter that they specialize in."Regular people" have just as wel thought out knowledgeable opinions as the stars,sometimes even more so .Unfortunately,many youny adults idolize these stars and believe everything they say .Because of this ,it is important for stars to be careful aoubt passing on inaccurate information.
