Hello Spelic, Into reading your article I find that it’s amazing to hear that you were given a chance to major into anything that was of your interest. There is a selective few of people that I know who has that choice as well, but I do not.
My family talks about higher education in a similar way as your parents, “education was the ticket, the treasure, the pathway to a good life…” My family is strict about my career path, it’s typically like that for middle eastern people. My mom pushes this idea of higher education would make me become successful and independent, so what that meant for me was just straight pressure. We have both read Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy, by Tressie McMillan Cottom and know that the economy and the education system is changing in a way that makes choosing a major rather difficult.
Here’s what I think, there is a lot of people who would love to major in their specific interest, but it won’t guarantee them a job and a good future. I’m “those people”, I would love to major in fine arts in fashion design but becoming a fashion designer isn’t a “real qualified job” to my family and won’t grant me straight employment. Doctors and lawyers were the jobs that was ideal to my family. That is why I do feel pressure to be majoring in biology but don’t get me wrong I have always favored science as a subject, but I’d rather prefer majoring in what I like the most and that is Fashion design. As time goes on, we can’t guarantee how the economy would turn out therefore, people take higher education more strictly than others.
What “Education as a public good” means to me is that the learning students receive by the public that helps benefit both parts, students and the public. Reading that phrase over and over again I can’t help but think about Cottom’s book, when mentioning the public benefiting more financially out of student’s “higher education” in for-profit colleges. You’ve made me understand your perspective from reading Cottom’s book and made me agree upon the importance of “get up on politics.” You have also made me open my eyes more about the educational system, I agree that we as people should bring it to the public’s attention for a better education.
good morning Celazab1, after reading your though on the letter you write to Sherri i feel the same way you did too. From the perspective of economy or family influence, it feel like you have more harder time than mine trying to navigate but the important thing is you still keeping your dream of become Fashion Designer that’s what i respect most about you. It show a level of independence from your family and your true self of what you want to do. Perhap you can working on the skill on your Fashion Design during these break and free time while taking college course. You have keep nurturing it and if you see an opportunity on the internet or local you can try it out. Skill can be transferring through many aspect that you might not notice like for example you can put that creativity into the work you have in school too to make it become more like you working on both at the same time i also do that in my biology class perhaps you can discover some aspect of science that can be bend to combine the two together but if you don’t see it, don’t be discourage and keep working on your skill (sorry i don’t know much about fashion design). And i am also believe we need to have better system to serve for greater community thats why i think people like me and you should vote, inform people for better education
I enjoyed reading your blog post respond to Spelic’s article. I appreciated your insight on what college and even choosing a major means for you and your culture. I can’t say that I can relate to your situation. However, I agree that our educational system makes choosing a major difficult process for many students. Like you, I wanted to choose a major that isn’t ever profitable if not receiving a Ph.D. I feel that there should be a common ground and the mutual point where students can major in subject that the love and enjoy while knowing that their future is finically set. As African american, I can agree that parents sometimes do put pressure on their children to use the idea of higher education to become independent and successful. Especially, when you know that your family is depending on your success. I loved your open and honest perspective. As a fellow student, I just encourage you to continue striving to complete your aspirations and goals and I believe that it’ll all work out in the end!
