Dear MEL Topic Readers,
It’s time for students to start committing to colleges. The age of AI
is making it complicated
For most U.S. colleges and universities, first-year applicants are
required to decide where to enroll and submit a deposit to secure their spot by
May 1, a day called College Decision Day. This is often the first decision students
make for their future. Then by the end of the sophomore year, college students
should be finishing with their general education requirements and are expected
to decide on their major for their future career courses or expertise. Business,
Health, and Social Sciences are the most popular majors, while Engineering and Computer
and Information Sciences bring higher income than others in general. However, as
AI is redrawring the landscape of business and career opportunities, students,
and their parents, too, are now rethinking
which college to study at or what major to take. Also, since college tuition
and fees have risen significantly in the last few years, the return on a four-year
college education is now under serious scrutiny. Does a bachelor’s degree
ensure higher lifetime earnings and employment endurance compared with two-year
degrees, vocational training, or military service? Do blue-collar jobs earn
more than desk jobs?
Read the article and learn why College Decision Day is becoming more
significant to students and their parents in the USA.
