Yeyiphi iKholeji? Indlela yommeli wabathengi

Iidola ezili-1 ngaphezulu kubomi bakho? Hayi.

Uninzi lwabantu luthethelela ukuchitha i-200,000 yeedola + kwimfundo yasekholejini kuba bakholelwa ukuba baya kufunda lukhulu kwaye babe nokuqesheka ngakumbi. Umzekelo, baxhomekeke kwidala elidala, elahlekisayo elinamaxilongo ngamasebe e-PR eekholeji ukuba abaphumeleleyo kwikholeji bafumana isigidi seedola ngaphezulu kobomi babo.Oko kuyalahlekisa kuba ibuyela umva, ngokubhekisele kwixesha apho ipesenti encinci kakhulu yezidanga eziphakamileyo ziye kwikholeji. Ngoku ipesenti ephezulu kakhulu yenza (iipesenti ezingama-72) ngaxeshanye nabaqeshi beshenxisa, bakhuphela ngaphandle, kwaye bevavanya izikhundla ezingaphezulu kwekhola emhlophe. Inani lezigidi zeedola-mali liyalahlekisa kananjalo ngenxa yokuba ichibi labo baphumelele kwikholeji licacile, likhuthazekile, kwaye linonxibelelwano olungcono losapho. Banokukha i-ayisi khrim kule minyaka mine ngaphambi kokuba baqale ikhondo kunye nangaphezulu kobomi babo, ngesele befumana umvuzo ongaphezulu kunabantu abangenaso isidanga.

Inyaniso malunga neziphumo zekholeji

Nazi iinkcukacha zamanani zamva nje, ezichanekileyo. Isifundo esiphambili sifumanise ukuba i-45% yabafundi beekholeji "khange babonakalise naluphi na uphuculo olubonakalayo ekufundeni" kwiminyaka yabo emibini yokuqala yasekholejini kwaye i-36% ibingakhange ibonakalise kuphucuka kwiminyaka emine! Ke, IAtlantic Upapashe ingxelo efumanise ukuba iipesenti ezingama-53.6 zabafundi abasele bekholeji abangaphantsi kwama-25 bebengasebenzi okanye besenza umsebenzi abanokuwufumana ngaphandle kwesidanga sasekholejini.

Kwaye ngoku, sikhutshiwe nje sesinye isifundo esiphambili. Iziphumo zayo eziphambili:

• Iipesenti ezingama-71 zabafundi abaphumeleleyo kwiklasi ka-2009 bebesalufumana uncedo lwemali kubazali babo kwiminyaka emibini emva kokuphumelela.
• Iipesenti ezingama-24 bezihlala ekhaya.
• Iipesenti ezingama-23 zabo bakwimakethi yezabasebenzi babengasebenzi okanye bengasebenzi.
• Kuphela i-1/4 yegrad kwimarike yomsebenzi enemisebenzi yexesha elipheleleyo ehlawula i-40,000 yeedola.

Kwaye ezo manani zezabafundi. Iipesenti ezingama-43 zabafundi abatsha kwiikholeji ekuthiwa “yiminyaka emine” azange baphumelele, nokuba banikwe iminyaka emithandathu.

Ngaba uyayiyeka okanye uyishiye ikholeji?

Kodwa umntu angayishiya njani ikholeji neengcali ezibanga ukuba isidanga sasekholejini sibalulekile kwimisebenzi elungileyo namhlanje?

Nokuba uninzi lwezo ngcali luyavuma ukuba uninzi lwabaphumelele kwizikolo zamabanga aphakamileyo kufuneka okungenani bathathe unyaka benze uhlolisiso lwehlabathi lokwenyani ngaphambi kokuba baphinde bathabathe isihlalo sabo iminyaka emine ukuya kwemithandathu ngaphezulu kwabafundi, unyaka obizwa ngokuba yi-gap. Ewe amaziko afana neHarvard kunye neMIT ayakukhuthaza oko. Mhlawumbi kuya kufuneka bafundele engqinibeni yosomashishini oyintloko, oqeqeshiweyo, okanye inkokheli engenzi nzuzo, ukujoyina umkhosi, okanye ukuqala ishishini. Le yokugqibela inokungaphumeleli kodwa okuninzi malunga nokwenza imali kunye nokwenza ubomi obongezelelekileyo ekusebenzeni nokuba kukusebenza okuncinci. Kwaye kunjalo, umfundi angathatha iikhosi ezizezinye zomdla, mhlawumbi kwikholeji yasekhaya, inkqubo yokwandiswa kweyunivesithi, okanye kwi-Intanethi, kubandakanya nokunikezelwa kwiiyunivesithi ezidumileyo (i-Coursera kunye ne-edX) okanye iikhosi ezizezinye, umzekelo, ezo zenziwa ngu-Udemy.

Kodwa ukushiya ikholeji ngaphezulu konyaka kuya kuziva kunzima kakhulu kuninzi lwabantu. Ukuba kunjalo, kufuneka benze ntoni?

Uhlawula nini imali enkulu

Ukuba umfundi angangena kwikholeji ye- “Top 12” -Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, kunye nee-Military Military Academy zase-U.S. Kuluntu lwethu oluyilebheli yokuyila, elo gama lidumileyo kwidiploma livula iingcango. Kananjalo kukho isibonelelo esinamandla sokuchitha iminyaka emine uhlala kunye nokufunda ngeyona nto ibalaseleyo kunye neqaqambileyo. Umahluko uya kuba ukuba umfundi uyazi kakuhle / uya kwenza ngcono njengentlanzi enkulu echibini elingakhethwanga. Kuthekani ngendleko? Kungenxa yokuba la maziko anezibonelelo ezikhulu, athambekele ekunikezeleni ngoncedo lwezezimali. Kwaye iiKholeji zomkhosi zisimahla, nangona kufuneka uvume, emva kokuthweswa isidanga, ukuba ube ligosa iminyaka emine.

Ityala lekholeji yoluntu

Ewe kunjalo, uninzi lwabafundi bezikolo eziphakamileyo abanako ukungena kwiikholeji ze "Top-12". Uninzi lwabafundi abanjalo bakhetha indawo yokuhlala yesibini eyunivesithi kodwa ityala elinamandla linokwenziwa lokulahla abo bathanda ikholeji yoluntu:

• Indawo yokuhlala yeholo yokuhlala e-2^nd- kunye no-3^rdIiyunivesithi eziphezulu kakhulu zihlala zinobuncinci bokwenza ubuhlobo bobomi bonke kunye nokuxoxa ngemiba ebalulekileyo yobomi nangakumbi kokuziphatha gwenxa okwenyusa amathuba engxaki yokusetyenziswa gwenxa kweziyobisi kunye nokuyeka isikolo. Nangona uninzi lwabantu abaneminyaka eli-18 ubudala belungavumelani, bethatha ubomi obufanelekileyo basekhaya, uninzi lwabo luya kwenza kakuhle ukuchitha eminye iminyaka embalwa phantsi kweliso elibukhali labazali.
• Ukufunda kunokwenzeka ukuba kukhulu. Kuyinyani, iikholeji zasekuhlaleni zitsala abafundi abaninzi ababuthathaka nabangakhuthazwanga. Ukuba awuzikhuthazi, unokuzibona sele urhuqelwa phantsi kukungakhathali kwezemfundo, kwanokungakhathali ngobomi. Kodwa nokuba abafundi abanesakhono banokufumana umceli mngeni owaneleyo kwikholeji yoluntu ingakumbi ukuba ukhetha enye enepesenti enkulu yabafundi abathi kamva batshintshele kwiikholeji zeminyaka emine kwaye, xa sele ubhalisile, uthatha iiklasi zeembeko kwaye uthathe inxaxheba kwimisebenzi yengqondo yangaphandle : iphephandaba labafundi, urhulumente wabafundi, ukubamba iindaba kunye nomboniso wolwazi kwisikhululo sikanomathotholo, ekhokela iklabhu yabafundi enxulumene nomsebenzi, ukuba ngummeli wabafundi kwikomiti yekholeji ngokubanzi, njl. kunokuba ngcono kwikholeji yasekuhlaleni kunaseyunivesithi. Kwiikholeji zasekuhlaleni, ubuhlakani buqeshwe ubukhulu becala kwindlela abafundisa ngayo hayi ukuba bangaphi na uphando abalupapashayo. Kwaye iimpawu zomhlohli olungileyo zesidanga zahlukile kwezo zifunekayo ukuze ube ngumphandi.
• Iindleko zekholeji yoluntu ngokubanzi ziphantsi kakhulu. Ngaphandle kokuba usisityebi, uncedo lwezemali kwiikholeji "zeminyaka emine" zihlala zifuna ukungena ematyaleni amakhulu. Oko kunokuba nzima ukubamba ukhuseleko lwezezimali nakwiintsapho ezikumgangatho ophakathi.

Owona mqobo mkhulu: ingcinezelo yoontanga

Kukho uxinzelelo olukhulu oluvela koontanga nakubazali lokuya kwezona ndawo unokukhetha kuzo. Kodwa kunokuba sisifundo sobomi esiluncedo ukumelana noxinzelelo ngokuthanda ukwenza eyona nto ikulungeleyo.
