One of the toughest career decisions for high school students and their parents is whether to get a job and settle down in that for the rest of their lives or to continue their studies in college. Three to five decades up the line, this would not have been a question at all that would make you lose sleep. The post World War II era saw many industries flourish and needing workers to ‘man’ their businesses. That was when they took high school graduates and trained them for routine jobs, mostly on factory floors.

The Present Scenario: Will It Support High School Graduates?

The rise of technological advances, fast paced work styles catering to newfound lifestyles and the latest buzzword ‘globalization’ in the last two decades has changed the present job market scenario entirely.

High school children of WW II veterans who got easy jobs were trained by their employers for specific jobs. This is obviously is a far cry from the situation today. Time, competition and budgets don’t permit such ‘on job’ training any more. Employers and new age industry captains are looking for college graduates for specialized jobs. For example: jobs like healthcare workers and software engineers can only be taken by those who are college trained because of their specific courses.

It could unfortunately be harsh on those can’t afford an extra 3-4 years of college. But in reality, high school graduates are more and more relegated to low end physical or routine non-challenging mundane jobs where entry-level salaries and growth opportunities are far from being lucrative.

But A College Degree Is Expensive and It Is Another 4 Years!

A recent survey suggested that the average employee changes jobs about 7 times in his or her career. The apparent reason is growing opportunities for trained and educated employees. But if you took a deeper look, employers are not in any position to wait for employees to train on the job. They seek candidates with pre-developed skills that match the job requirements, resulting in a soaring demand for college graduates.

It’s obvious that education opens new vistas of faster and better growth. Education loans from the Federal Government or private banks can help open your first job account with almost double the paycheck. College graduates have a better scalability factor in their careers than others. A $40,000 loan for a 4-year college degree can be easily paid back in 10 years including the 5% interest. The fact that the 4 years you spend in college plus the $40,000 can be made good in the next 3-4 years easily should stand as unbeatable testimony in favor of college education. The United States Census states that college graduates, in their career, will earn $2.1 million against $1.2 million for high school grads.

Unless there is some thing else that you know, all indicators point in favor of college. Higher raises, promotions, and postgraduate education- flights of progress- all require just one platform, and that is college graduation.

Hello. I’m a high school student, and I’m in my junior year with a GPA of 2.94 unweighted. I know that it could have been better, but the courses I took in the last three years were definitely challenging. I will get as detailed as possible with this. GT (Gifted and Talented) is a step beyond honors, but lower than AP. Honors has a weight of .5 in my school and GT and AP have a weight of 1.0.

Freshmen Year Schedule:
AP US History
Geometry GT
Earth Science GT
English 9 Regular
Computer Science I Regular
Physical Education
Spanish I Regular

GPA: 2.71

Sophomore Year:
Government Honors
English 10 Honors
Algebra 2 GT

Junior Year:
AP English 11 (Lang and Comp)
AP Economics (Macro)

I know what I’m taking my senior year but since I am not in my senior year, I do not know my GPA for that. But here are the courses:

Senior Year:
AP English 12
AP Economics (Micro)
AP Calculus AB
Physics GT
Film
AP Statistics

GPA: Unknown
GPA Senior Year GOAL: 3.71

Here are the extracurriculars I have done so far:
JV Wrestling
Outdoor Track (2 Years)
Indoor Track (1 Year)
Work (At Sears, As Cashier)
Marketing Consultant (Internship in the IT Field)
Howard County Film Festival (Short Film)
League of Woman Voters (Internship in Film)

Now I’m working on a feature film for either the Sundance, Slamdance, or New York Film Festival.

My SAT Score? I think it’s good. 2130. I might retake it for a higher score.

I’m still debating if I want to go into the IT field as a computer engineer, or want to become a film director, since people have told me I have amazing talent for it and an excellent vision.

I’m from Maryland, and I want to get into one of these colleges:

New York University (NYU)
Syracuse University
UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
University of Maryland, College Park
UPenn
University of Philidelphia
Carnegie Mellon
UVA
University of Illinois, Chicago

My freshmen and sophomore year, I couldn’t handle the workload. My junior year, I just worked really hard and I’m still working.
What are the chances of me getting into one of these colleges? And which one should I go to? If you could leave a detailed answer that would be great. Thank you very much. Highly appreciate it.

PS: Do colleges look at senior year at all for admission purposes? Can you explain to me what exactly they account in for your senior year?

I was wondering how big a disadvantage it is in taking pre-med requisite courses at a community college? I graduated with a BS in Compter Science and work full time for a software company. I began taking medical school pre-requisites at a community college while working full time. Will medical schools look down on these credits?

I am fully aware that my whole situation will be taken into account: I do work full time, I do volunteer in an emergency room (and have been on and off since high school), both while taking 2 pre-req night courses a semester, and I do know I need to be explicit and sincere in my reason for switching career paths as well. Oh..and the damned MCAT.

So I’m just trying to position myself in the best way possible. I don’t plan to matriculate at a school as a pre-med, I just want to take the pre-reqs. Any advice on if I really have to lay down the cash just to take some bio and chem courses at a ‘reuputable’ school?
