Schools » Traditional »


Overview

When people think about schools and education, traditional schools are what they usually think of. Traditional schools can be defined as location-based schools with pre-defined curriculum taught by the usual methods—lectures, textbooks, homework, tests, etc. For certain academic subjects—and for certain people—this method of education works well. For some, it’s best to be removed from “everyday life” to learn in a dedicated environment, along with others who are doing the same thing. It can be a good stepping stone for life.

The potential negatives to traditional education are that first of all, it can be quite costly, especially if the subject matter is specialized; and secondly, some career choices and skills aren’t best taught in an academic environment, but rather in a hands-on, real-life environment. It really depends on the individual, and on the profession being taught. The important thing is to choose wisely; investigate different kinds of schools to decide whether the traditional method is right for you.

  • Tuition Costs Are Rising At Unprecedented Rates

    http://www.schoolsforme.net

    The headline says it all.  Tuition costs have escalated to the point where students are demonstrating.  In fact, it's not unusual for a student to graduate from school hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

    This makes it imperative to spend some time choosing the right school to help you achieve your goals.  Sadly, in this age of hyper-inflated tuition costs, a college degree does not guarantee a job, much less a career.

    One strategy that is often overlooked when choosing a school is to talk to people who are successful in the career you want to pursue.  If you don't know anyone in your chosen field, you can often find much of this valuable information online.

    The more entrepreneurial individual might go so far as to enroll in the "University of Hard Knocks" and just go for it.  The reasoning is simple: he can start his career behind the wheel of a Bentley, instead of owing his college what a Bentley costs by the time he graduates.

    We're by no means advocating dropping out of school, or not pursuing an education.  However, we are advocating that you look before you leap.

    by Anne VanderMey
    Thursday, October 1, 2009 provided by BusinessWeek

    The MBA in the corner office, fresh out of business school with a six-figure paycheck, is a standard trope of Corporate America. Every incoming student has heard rags-to-riches tales of that gilded certification leading to giant paychecks and even bigger bonuses. But how often do these MBA fairy tales actually come true? According to new research: not as often as you think.Read more »
