Abstract

In conclusion I believe our colleges can be saved. If administrators and Deans talked to us about everything there was to know about college many people would know what they want to do before they go into college. They would already have their majors and all in tact. I also think that if colleges would prepare us for the real world many people would go. But for some reason colleges aren’t doing this. If colleges would get us ready for our careers and the real world many of us would attend. I don't know if their using students for their money or what but whatever they're doing is not going to do. We need the basic necessities for life and their not providing it and they need to. So what can we do to make them help us out more.

In this article by Victor Davis Hanson we’ll be discussing the cost scandal and little to no education the colleges are giving us. Victor Davis Hanson is informing us on how our colleges are teaching and treating us. They give us some info about our career that we want to go into but not all. I ask myself many times during the article “why aren't they giving us this information”, although the article never answers this I think I may have an idea. Victor also talks about how uneducated most graduates are. Their being prepared for their work fields, spending all their money on college and being booted out with no experience. How can any of us make it like this. The thing is we can’t, who’s going to help us then. Nobody at all nobody.

In Victor Davis Hanson’s article about colleges cost and uneducated graduation rate he goes in depth about everything that our colleges should be preparing and doing for us to be able to make it in the real world. But for some reason their not providing us with this information. Like the article says “take out a car or home loan and there are pages of federal regulations protecting the borrower, why not give students the same truth in advertising protections with the liabilities they will incur?”, I just want to know why colleges aren't putting this in their brochures. Why not tell us that we might not be getting the job we desire when we graduate right away. That we may be going into the real world uneducated and unprepared. One reason they don't
