Discussion Q

uestion When developing a vision for all

students to be college and career ready, what schoolwide elements should be in place?


Myths and Facts

MYTH: •   There are plenty of upcoming job

openings that won’t need a college education; therefore, the “college-for-all” movement is misguided and is setting our students up for failure.

- “Myths and Facts from College and Career

Ready for All,” Education Trust


Myths and Facts

FACTS: •   By 2025, 41% of all jobs will require at

least a Bachelor’s degree.

•   50% of the fastest-growing occupations in the next 10 years will require a Bachelor’s degree or higher.


Myths and Facts

MYTH: •   Young people can become employed

and earn a decent living without going to college.


Myths and Facts

FACTS: •   Adults with a high school diploma or less will

outnumber the jobs available to people with that level of education.

•   28 of the 30 occupations, which are projected to have the largest employment declines, are jobs that do not require college degrees and only require on-the-job training and work experience.

•   High school graduates are more than twice as likely as college graduates to be unemployed.


Myths and Facts

FACT: •   The difference in wages between a

college graduate and a high school graduate is almost 2x higher per hour.


Myths and Facts

MYTH: •   Not all students want to go to college,

so they shouldn’t have to take rigorous courses in high school.


Myths and Facts

FACT: •   According to several government and

private sector organizations, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, and the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association, employers and colleges are looking for students with the same academic preparation.
