T a y l o r | 1 Kedric Taylor Prof. Tara ENC1102 4/2/2023 Higher Education: Is It Worth It? Education is highly looked upon in most parts of the world higher education seems like a waste in different aspects. My working thesis is “While some believe that higher education may be a waste of time, as an education major, I will explore whether college/university students are more informed, develop life/social skills, and acquire self-knowledge”. However, many critics believe college does not equal success. According to Centeno he was sure that college wouldn’t make people skilled leaders with a shot at the corner office. “Developing skills such as leadership, decision making, people and resource management takes real practice and experience. These are skills which cannot be acquired in the classroom.” (Centeno22). College education has the potential to foment powerful gains in social and emotional learning. “College education provides foundation for social and emotional development and maturation, stronger social and emotional skills becoming more informed and developed” (Montoya2022) Gaining admission to college requires significant self-awareness, knowledge, and management which goes on to show how going to college help with psychological skills, becoming more developed and savvier in a certain major or trade.

The nationally renowned Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), adopts a similar model, emphasizing five core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, relationship skills, and social awareness. Goleman studied many different methods trying to understand how life/social skills are developed he even did self- assessments and tests on different individuals to be one hundred percent certain on his gains. Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (successor to the federal No Child Left Behind Act), set forth a compelling vision in which all students in America are taught to high academic standards that will prepare them to succeed in college and careers. College isn’t just about earning a degree. If we step back and examine what a college experience entails, we can see that it is more than just attending classes and taking exams. In fact, higher education is about learning new ways of thinking and acquiring problem-solving skills. Employers want their candidates to be well-spoken with strong proficiencies in communication and writing.
