My choice to pursue a degree with APUS was for many different reasons. A reason such as it is more convenient for me to pursue a degree online because of working and raising a child. Also I am able to work towards the degree I want to be able to pursue the goal of becoming a Physical Therapist. With APUS I am able to pursue a degree online by being able to log on from home. By doing so this gives me time to work. To be able to work is a big deal in today’s economy because you need money to pay for everything. It is also important for me to be able to make money for myself so I do not have to depend on anyone else. APUS makes it easy to do school work and to be able to work at the same time.

    Why Students Attend University

    William Deresiewicz claims that in the neoliberal world we live in, the market mentality drives students to attend universities purely to obtain higher paying careers, rather than to expand knowledge.

    I was able to engage in challenging classes within the Honors association as well as expand my confidence within WILL, Women in Learning and Leadership. My perspective on each and every concept I learned kept changing and growing and altering. I learned alongside people of varying cultures, and ages, which expanded my perspective on numerous issues. I changed my major at least four or five times, and did not have to worry about wasting thousands of dollars by doing so. I am still accumulating more information and deciphering what it is exactly I want to do and who I want to be.…

    AP US History Class Analysis

    The biggest cost would be time as the workload of the class probably will be bigger than the honors class. However, I have a lot of time so the tradeoff would not matter for me. Another opportunity cost is potentially GPA because of the increased difficulty of the class, but I doubt it will be such a big problem. Thus, the benefits clearly outweigh the cost for taking this class so the result of a cost-benefit analysis says I should enroll in AP Government and…

    The Importance Of Pursuing A College Degree

    A) The only way the Hispanic community will be able to live decent lives and be adequately represented in government is if we are in positions of power. On December 18th of 2010, the 36 republican and 5 democratic senators did not have my dreams in mind. They did not understand that I don 't have a single memory of the place where I was born. In truth they will never fully know what it 's like to grow up in a country that empowers your dreams, overtakes you with its culture, just to shut you out upon the request of documents that you do not understand why you can 't provide. A college degree will inevitably increase my standard of life but it will stand for so much more. .…
