College is Good for Careers Among Immigrants and the Disabled
In the United States any citizen that has graduated from a public high school can attend college, and many options are available for funding college expenses. Many states have grants, and the federal government offers many direct student loans that will cover a student’s cost up to their cost of attendance minus their expected family contribution. The grants do not have to be repaid, but the loans need to be paid beginning six months after leaving school, dropping below full-time status, or failing to make adequate academic progress. All of this information comes as common knowledge from my experience having attended college for twelve years.
What is thus good about living in the United States is that young students from extremely poor families can afford college. If for example a family was so poor that they had zero income and lived in the wilderness for free, then if their son or daughter attended a public school (this would be for no cost) then the son or daughter could go to college as well. What this means is that a son or daughter of such a family that lives in a temporary shack and lives off the land would have a zero expected family contribution, and thus financial aid would have to cover the entire cost of attendance as this would include room, board, books, tuition, fees, and many other such expenses. What would even be likely is that the student would have some extra money that he or she could use for miscellaneous expenses such as personal items.
What is more is that the student could continue to go to college and not have to pay anything until graduation if he or she made good grades and made the satisfactory progress needed for degree programs. To such an end a person from the wilderness could theoretically enter college as a freshman and eventually graduate with a full doctorate degree that could allow the individual to became a business professor or a medical doctor and make over a $100,000 a year at least. The clear benefit of such a government supported opportunity for anyone to go to college is that it gives everyone an opportunity to have at least some of the luxuries that the United States has to offer.
Although many people in the United States graduate from high school and believe that they did not have the opportunities that everyone else had because their family was poor, such people either do not know how good the opportunities in the United States are or they live in a situation that is worse than the example described of the family that lives in the woods. One time I actually saw a young woman at my university campus that was resting in the driver’s seat of her car, and the seat was so worn that she clearly lived in her car. Overall, I am certain that the woman that lived in her car was a university student, and frankly that is what makes the United States great.
Many other nations do not give the same opportunities for college as what the United States gives, and so poor people simply live in poverty without any escape. I have a total of seven college degrees, have a learning disability, and could hardly communicate to anyone when I graduated from high school because I had a lot of anti-social tendencies. I know that if I did not have the opportunity to go to college, then I would likely be among the poorest of the poor. Not only would I be poor, but I also would have no escape from poverty.
In fact many years after I graduated from high school I noticed the woman that I danced with at high school prom, and she was at the post office with an envelope in her hands that contained a letter about her disability claim. The woman was basically homeless, disabled, and sitting at the post office with no real future hope, and she clearly was not someone that would be hired for a job anytime soon even if she tried her best (she had one eye that looked the wrong way and she was extremely unattractive and slow). Such a woman was a great social reject because of her disability, her worldview, and her isolationist activity, but if she would have gone to college and completed a doctorate degree after eight years, then she would have a promising future.
Even though people are often secretly discriminated against in the United States in many industries that serve the public, if a person completes enough college to mark them as above and beyond all other persons applying for a job, then the employer almost is required to hire the individual with the most qualifications. What such a fact means is that even people from very unpopular races that are ugly, speak poor English, and belong to a strange religion can have odds stacked in their favor if they have enough education to be the most qualified person applying for a job. Overall, what thus makes the United States great is that it allows people to have the opportunity to have jobs if individuals are willing to work for them.
Most employers in the United States do not hire people based exclusively upon their education, but instead most would consider work experience to be a key quality that the employer is looking for. Some employers however will hire only based upon education. Employers that require work experience are the most likely to discriminate against individuals based upon how ugly they are, their race, and their religion, and this is because work experience can be subjectively interpreted. Overall, despite the way that work experience is interpreted by employers, if immigrating to the United States, then attending college and successfully completing college degrees is key to living in the nation.
