Why are you getting a college degree?

Having a college degree…

Looks good on your resume

Gets you the interview

Should help you get a job

But having a college degree…

Won’t help you keep the job

Won’t help you get promoted

Is only the starting point

The reality is…

Most of the detail from your courses you won’t remember

You should come away understanding what the subjects entail (marketing, accounting, etc.)

This should help you know what field you want to work in

You may be wondering…

Why should I do the reading,

come to class, or make the

effort?

People will know you graduated from college by the way you:

Read

Write

Speak

Think

Course by course, class by class, assignment by

assignment you learn how to do these

things better than you did when you started.

Daily practice is required

Think about…

Athletes – learning a sport

Musicians – playing an instrument

Learning a new language

Getting in shape

When you…

Read, write, speak and think at a higher level, you will

Be recognized as a college grad

Keep your job

Be promoted

Be recruited away

Make more money

10

It takes effort, not struggle

Come to class

Remember the 2 to 1 rule

Do the reading

Complete the assignments

Use the instructor’s feedback

Ask for help

And it will be obvious that you’re a college

grad!
