Kalasi iti? Njira Yoyimira Wotsutsa

$ 1 miliyoni kuposa nthawi yanu yonse? Ayi.

Anthu ambiri amalungamitsa kuwononga $ 200,000 + ku maphunziro aku koleji chifukwa amakhulupirira kuti aphunzira zambiri ndikugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri. Mwachitsanzo, amadalira zowerengera zakale, zosocheretsa zomwe malipenga a PR amaphunzitsa kuti omaliza maphunziro awo kukoleji amalandila madola miliyoni kuposa moyo wawo wonse.Izi ndizosocheretsa chifukwa ndizobwerera m'mbuyo, zokhudzana ndi nthawi yomwe ochepa kwambiri omwe amaliza maphunziro awo kusekondale amapita ku koleji. Tsopano peresenti yokwera kwambiri imachita (72%) nthawi imodzimodzi ngati olemba anzawo ntchito akuchotsa, kuthamangitsa, ndikuyesa ma kolala oyera. Chiwerengero cha madola miliyoni chikusocheretsanso chifukwa dziwe la omaliza maphunziro aku koleji ndi lowala, lolimbikitsidwa kwambiri, komanso olumikizana bwino ndi mabanja. Amatha kupeza ayisikilimu kwa zaka zinayi asanayambe ntchito komanso m'moyo wawo wonse, akadalandirabe zochuluka kuposa anthu opanda digiri.

Chowonadi chokhudza zotsatira zakukoleji

Nazi ziwerengero zaposachedwa kwambiri, zowona. Kafukufuku wamkulu adapeza kuti 45% ya ophunzira aku koleji "sanawonetse kusintha kulikonse pakuphunzira" mzaka zawo ziwiri zoyambirira zaku koleji ndipo 36% anali asanawonetsenso kusintha pazaka zinayi! Ndiye, Nyanja ya Atlantic adafalitsa lipoti lomwe lidapeza kuti 53.6% ya omaliza maphunziro aku koleji osakwana zaka 25 anali osagwira ntchito kapena kugwira ntchito yomwe akanapeza popanda digiri yaku koleji.

Ndipo tsopano, kutulutsidwa kumene ndi kafukufuku wina wamkulu. Zotsatira zake zazikulu:

• 71% ya omwe adafunsidwa omaliza maphunziro awo mkalasi la 2009 anali kulandirabe thandizo lazachuma kuchokera kwa makolo awo zaka ziwiri atamaliza maphunziro awo.
• 24% anali kukhala kwawo.
• 23% ya omwe ali mumsika wogwira ntchito anali osagwira ntchito kapena osagwira ntchito.
• Magawo 1/4 okha pamsika wogwira ntchito anali ndi ntchito yanthawi zonse yolipira $ 40,000 +.

Ndipo ziwerengerozi ndi za omaliza maphunziro. 43% yaophunzira mwatsopano kumakoleji otchedwa "zaka zinayi" samaliza maphunziro, ngakhale atapatsidwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi.

Kusiya kapena kusiya koleji?

Koma zingatheke bwanji kuti wina asiye koleji ndi akatswiri omwe amati digiri ya koleji ndiyofunikira pantchito zabwino zambiri masiku ano?

Ngakhale ambiri mwa akatswiriwa angavomereze kuti omaliza maphunziro aku sekondale ayenera kutenga chaka kuti achite kafukufuku wapadziko lonse asanatenge mpando wawo kwa zaka zinayi kapena zisanu ndi chimodzi zamaphunziro, chaka chotchedwa gap chaka. Zowonadi mabungwe monga Harvard ndi MIT amalimbikitsa izi. Mwina ayenera kuphunzira m'zigongono za katswiri wazamalonda, techie, kapena mtsogoleri wopanda phindu, kulowa usilikali, kapena kuyambitsa bizinesi. Otsatirawa atha kulephera koma zambiri zakupanga ndalama ndikupanga moyo wowonjezera chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito pang'ono. Zachidziwikire, wophunzirayo amatha kuchita maphunziro osangalatsa, mwina ku koleji yakomweko, pulogalamu yowonjezera yunivesite, kapena pa intaneti, kuphatikiza zopereka kuchokera kumayunivesite otchuka (Coursera ndi edX) kapena maphunziro owonjezera, mwachitsanzo, omwe amaperekedwa ndi Udemy.

Koma kusiya koleji yopitilira chaka kumamva kukhala kovuta kwambiri kwa anthu ambiri. Ngati ndi choncho, ayenera kuchita chiyani?

Nthawi yolipira ndalama zazikulu

Ngati wophunzira atha kupita kukoleji ya “Top 12” —Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, ndi anayi aku U.S. Military Academy - mwina akuyenera kupita. M'magulu athu opanga mayina, dzina lotchuka pa dipuloma limatsegula zitseko. Komanso, pali mwayi waukulu wokhala zaka zinayi ndikukhala moyo ndikuphunzira bwino kwambiri. Kupatula apo kungakhale ngati wophunzira akudziwa bwino ngati nsomba yayikulu mu dziwe losasankha. Nanga bwanji mtengo wake? Chifukwa mabungwe amenewo ali ndi ndalama zambiri, amakonda kupereka ndalama zambiri. Ndipo Masukulu Ausirikali ndi aulere, ngakhale mukuyenera kuvomereza, mukamaliza maphunziro, kuti mukhale woyang'anira zaka zinayi.

Mlandu waku koleji yakumidzi

Zachidziwikire, ophunzira ambiri pasukulu yasekondale sangathe kulowa ku koleji ya "Top-12". Ambiri mwa ophunzirawa amasankha kuyunivesite yachiwiri koma amakhala ndi mlandu wolimba mtima kwa omwe akufuna maphunziro aku koleji:

• Malo okhalamo okhalamo a 2^nd- ndi 3^rd-mayunivesite apamwamba nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi zochepa zokhala ndiubwenzi wokhalitsa ndikukambirana zovuta zazikulu zamoyo komanso zonyansa zochepa zomwe zimawonjezera mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo komanso kusiya. Ngakhale ambiri azaka za 18 sangagwirizane, poganiza kuti moyo wabwino kunyumba, ambiri akhoza kuchita zaka zina ali pansi pa diso la makolo awo.
• Kuphunzira kumatha kukhala kokulirapo. Zowona, makoleji ammudzi amakopa ophunzira ambiri ofooka komanso osakhudzidwa. Ngati simuli odzikonda, mutha kudzipeza nokha ndikukhala osasamala pamaphunziro, ngakhale kunyalanyaza moyo. Koma ngakhale ophunzira omwe ali ndi luso atha kupeza zovuta zokwanira ku koleji yakumidzi makamaka mukasankha imodzi yomwe ili ndi ophunzira ambiri omwe pambuyo pake amasamukira ku makoleji azaka zinayi kenako, mukalembetsa, mumatenga makalasi aulemu ndikuchita nawo zaluso zina zakunja : nyuzipepala yaophunzira, boma laophunzira, kuchititsa nkhani ndi ziwonetsero zapawayilesi yakalasi, kutsogolera kalabu ya ophunzira yokhudzana ndi ntchito, kukhala woimira ophunzira pa komiti yapadziko lonse lapansi, ndi zina zotero. atha kukhala abwinoko ku koleji yakumudzi kuposa mayunivesite. Ku makoleji ammudzi, akatswiri amaphunzitsidwa ntchito makamaka momwe amaphunzitsira osati kuchuluka kwa kafukufuku omwe amasindikiza. Ndipo zikhumbo za mlangizi wabwino wamaphunziro apamwamba ndizosiyana ndi zomwe zimafunikira kuti akhale wofufuza.
• Mtengo waku koleji yakumidzi nthawi zambiri imakhala yotsika kwambiri. Pokhapokha mutakhala wolemera, thandizo lazandalama m'makoleji "azaka zinayi" nthawi zambiri limafunikira kuti mukhale ndi ngongole yayikulu. Izi zitha kusokoneza ndalama ngakhale mabanja apamwamba.

Chopinga chachikulu: kutengera anzawo

Pali kukakamizidwa kwakukulu kuchokera kwa anzanu ndi makolo kuti mupite kumalo osankhidwa omwe mungalowemo. Koma lingakhale phunziro lothandiza pamoyo wanu kuti mupewe kukakamizidwa kuti muchite zomwe zili zoyenera kwa inu.
