I come from a working-class family. My grades are good but not good enough for one of the bigger scholarships. College students spend an average of three years in post-secondary education as opposed to the average of six in university. In addition to those six years an increasing number of university graduates are applying to college to gain the balance of theory and hands-on experience. The shorter program allows college grads to get a head-start inthe job market.
Colleges have a tendency to produce more well-paid workers than universities.
This is because colleges gear their programs towards providing more hands-on experience and universities teach more theory. This was twice the percentage of those who felt a university degree was most important. Recommend this page to a friend. All rights reserved. Go back to JarvisCI .
