Today I read "Our Google Advice to Students: Major in Learning" by Jonathan Rosenberg. This article matters because it takes about how companies need to attract the most intelligent workers in order to "secure the single biggest factory for competitive advantage" says Peter Drucker. This matters to me because it strongly points out the fact that a college degree is going to secure you economic security after you graduation. The world views a college degree as a "I am really smart in this field of study". Without a college degree your chances in the job market are bad, even the fast food places are running out og jobs. This article matters to education because of the increasingly competitive job market we all need an edge, and the only edge we can get is going to college and getting a degree. Who ever decided that going to college is the only successful outcome of highschool? This article matters to the world because this can't just be happening to the US, overcrowding is happing in countries all over the world. With overcrowding more people are looking overseas for jobs, mostly the US. Even more jobs are being taken over seas so there is no way to secure a job without facing a lot of competition. I was taking to my neighboor and he told me about his job interview he had today, he told me he was just one of 1,000 people appling for that position. "Our Google Advice to Students: Major in Learning" says you need a major's degree in order to succeed in life, but why do you require one? We can't you just be smart and get on wiht your life?
