It is a very compelling argument. Why should you further your student education and go to University and get yourself £30,000 – £35000 pounds in debt when you could be working and earning that amount in the same time period?
Below are some tips that I hope would help you make your decision as to whether or not to take your student education further.
The skills that you will develop while working for a higher education qualification will prove invaluable in later life, no matter what you choose to do. Basically every course offer international exchanges and workplace placements, providing invaluable employment experience.
Graduate unemployment is around half that of non-graduates.
Tutors, student groups and new friends provide an excellent support network for the time you are going to spend at university and afterwards. They say the friends you make at University are the ones you make for life!
Students benefit from a huge range of discounts on everything from travel and cinema tickets to magazine subscriptions and entrance fees. Handy if you want to keep down your expenses! (Which you will do!)
Graduates get a wider choice of jobs in their chosen career with a higher education qualification. Also graduates tend to get fast-tracked into positions such as management, whereas without a higher education qualification, you will need to work your way up the career ladder.
If you have a higher education qualification, you are likely to earn around 50 per cent more on average than those without one. (Bonus!)
It gives you a chance to move to a new city, away from your parents and have some freedom and independence, which is both exciting and scary at the same time!
And most importantly… It’s fun! There are loads of clubs, societies, and parties going on if you get yourself really involved. The years spent at university are a time when great friendships are forged too, usually your friends for life!
I hope these tips will help you make your decision on whether to further your student education.

Help answer the question about tutor student
What is standard pay for a student tutor?I am in gr.10. I have a high English mark average (97) and have been told by many teachers that the parents of young students would like me to tutor their children.
Instead of having an awkward price hashing session, I would rather begin with a set fee. How much is reasonable to charge for 1 hr or 1/2 hour sessions if you are not a trained proffesional?

And, for the record, all LV’s do their own thing, with the same goals in mind. So, not all affiliates take students on as you described – it’s up to their program directors. Some LV’s even have programs for the students you speak of that requires them to fund their own tutoring. This way they aren’t taking up grant money that could be used to serve the less advantaged.
another reason I despise the left in this country. As long as you fit their LEFTIST agenda then everything is A-OK..
BTW, he/she could sue big time and WIN!
financial aid should be provided, check with your school.
I strongly suggest that any courses you take prior to applying to PhD programs are at least at the Masters level, and are not taken through distance education. Distance ed courses (or anything through Excelsior) will work against you in PhD admissions. If you wish, you could look into terminal MA programs in econ or geography, but why?
I honestly think you are underestimating yourself. With an Masters in Urban Planning already in hand, and with years of experience in the field, you should be looking at PhD programs.
Just contact the Directors of Graduate Studies in the programs to which you intend to apply, and ask questions. Your first question should be about letters of rec: "Would letters from employers be appropriate, given my situation?"
And finally, I think you are overestimating the time required for the PhD. If you are admitted to a program as a full-time student, you should receive an assistantship of some sort, which usually includes full tuition remission as well as a modest stipend. In this case, 5-6 years should suffice. (There are very few part-time PhD programs in most fields. I suggest you check into the situation in Urban Planning, however, since it is not my area of expertise.)
Best wishes to you!
There is nothing to disagree with – it’s a fact they have misleading ads. The fact that they provide one on one is even worse. They provide it to wives of husbands who make 100,00 or more
(and read quite well.) I taught hundreds of them – not one is reflective of the gentleman in this ad. The ads are misleading. They should talk about ALL the people they help and where the grants come from. It’s about being honest.
I agree with you to a certain point. I think for those that get assistance should be responsible in paying back the cost if they do not do well. I think that the degree should not be completely free. I know the community college here in Pittsburgh is offering free tuition to those who have been laid off. But of course, there are restrictions to the program to.
Well, I can say from personal experience of working at an LV for the past 3 years, that we accept any student who wants to improve their literacy skills…..we do not turn those away looking to receive help. What I can say though is that the basic reading students are much more reluctant to come and get help than the ESL students. We try our very hardest to find students who of the most disadvantaged nature, but do no turn any away if they have room to grow.
The less educated one is the more likely thay will engage in unhealthy practices…GENERALLY….not true to a person but generally it is true. Regarding the drinking in college, if they did followup studies they might find 10 years later the college crowd is healthier than the non-college crowd – more income, more health awareness, etc…in college there is a lot of social pressure to drink…and when you get thousands of kids together who often are away from parental control for the first time, they often make unwise choices.
Very inspiring. I’m training to be a vulunteer literacy tutor and it’s given me encouragement to keep going with it. Thanks x
I completely disagree. LV is one of the only agencies that provides one-on-one tutoring services. This is what the students are looking for. While there is a population of people as you pointed out, LV tries hardest to recruit students that are disadvantaged and need the help the most.
IAEC Consultants is an resource for Overseas Education based Hyderabad, India assistance students who wish to study abroad like USA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, UK, IRELAAND. We are one of the Visa Consultants. We are providing also student loans.
May be it is just your friends. When you look at enrollment in colleges and universities, there are more women than men enrolled. Many times they do better academically as well.
And I just received a list of coming workshops. Of 16 workshops 11 are designated for ESOL. The other 5 are directed at Adult Learners AND ESOL.
In summary every workshop is for the ESOL tutor or trainer. And they want a volunteer tutor to pay for the privilege.
Absolutely misleading and dishonest.
LVA should be for people who like this gentleman who need it. Unfortunately LVA uses grant money to teach ESL to people who can not only afford to pay for it but who can also drive BMWs, Mercedes, Lexus, etc (I’ve seen them,) take expensive international and domestic vacations, buy fancy clothes and to send kids to college. They come here and make 6 figures and take free ESL with grant money!
LVA should stop this!
Great job! Thanks for sharing your story. Keep up the great work!
By your English, I'm sure that you can tutor. Tutoring English, or just about anything else that your good at can make you great money while in school. Tutoring is usually very flexible, after hours/classes, and enjoyable.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.
