I believe that this is important because it's about the future of our generation. It's giving us facts and statistics about the number of people going to college and what there options really are. This artical helps inform students about the different recources and programs that can help them get informed on ways to go to college and the different types of help they can recieve.
I think college OPTIONS is helpful because it helps students with college. Most people dont know about all the applications they have to fill out, the deadlines, the tests, the scholorships , the visits or anything that has to get done to be able to be eligible for college, with college OPTIONS, it makes things easier for the student.
In Shasta county , theres a 18.8 % post- highschool degree rate, compared to the 29.5% of state wide. The numbers accurate and although it seems low, its because it is. 18.8 % have a bachelors degree at least, only 11.9% go to college. Thats a very low number for Shasta county.
I think that theres such a difference because in Shasta County there are a lot of people that go into family owned businesses or they own ranches and farms. You don't have to go to college to do any of those things so after highschool they just stay at home and help the family business.
