Hey there, welcome to Life Knocking.
2
So college is a reality for some of you, or it might be.
3
It's a tough decision and either way it can change the course of your life forever.
4
No pressure though, seriously, we got you.
5
Let's go over some of the pros and cons of higher education
6
and you can decide on your own whether it's right for you.
7
Major pro right off the bat,
8
college grads with bachelor's degrees earn on average of 30,000 more per year than high school graduates.
9
This can add up to around $500,000 more dollars per lifetime.
10
Think of all the pizzas you can buy with that money.
11
Major con right off the bat,
12
the downside to this is that while many students do become successful,
13
college is still very expensive.
14
Massive student loan debt often results in students moving back in with their parents and working multiple jobs.
15
Over 25% of college students decide to not even return for a second year,
16
so you'll have to decide whether it's worth your time and money and how exactly can you pay it off.
17
Pro!
18
College does provide nifty things such as job fairs,
19
career services, internships, and volunteer opportunities.
20
Nearly 80% of college students complete internships during school,
21
which always comes in handy when applying for jobs after graduation.
22
Also depending on your school,
23
you'll have access to some brilliant professors that you might not have ever gotten to meet otherwise.
24
These connections, whether short term or long term, are very beneficial.
25
As for the con, the total cost of going to college also includes the cost of missing opportunities.
26
Climbing a ladder, working your way up,
27
and making connections is a route that many people choose to take.
28
Pro, college does help students explore new options.
29
Many people do not declare a major when they sign up for classes
30
so college is a great way for the students to test the waters and figure out their passion.
31
My passion is educating you guys.
32
Con, sadly though, recent college graduates are actually under or unemployed.
33
Over 16% of recent graduates are either jobless,
34
searching, part-time, or have completely given up.
35
While work might seem hard to find,
36
college graduates do have a higher chance of employment opportunities.
37
Many jobs require a degree of some level to actually apply.
38
Based on Georgetown University's economy and job projections,
39
around 63% of jobs will require some level of college education or a degree.
40
Who knows what the percentage would be in a couple of years,
41
but it really does help to have that fancy piece of paper.
42
Sort of con, interestingly enough,
43
over 44% of recent college graduates with a bachelor's degree or higher are working jobs that don't even require a degree.
44
Hmm, I've been thinking, should I go to the University of Good Looks?
45
Heh, I'm just kidding, I have my masters from there.
46
Let us know your thoughts.
47
How do you feel about college?
48
Is it a waste of time,
49
or is it necessary to go somewhere?
50
And tell us, what do you want to do in life?
51
Make sure you come back every Monday for a brand new video.

練習のコツ

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
