8-31-11 Group Lecture Blog

The main focus of the group lecture was the value and importance of a college education. A main point of the lecture was that it is very difficult to find a job without a college degree. Furthermore, if we have intentions of having families of our own then we need to make sure that we get a degree to ensure that we may be able to get a job to provide for our families. The fact was stated that 1/2 of the college students eventually drop out. When people drop out and then try to get jobs, they will need government assistance to get a job which affects those who have jobs and a college degree. So it is in our best interest now to help those who need it and connect with the people who will help us graduate.
