Where does Oregon stand in Education?

Oregon ranks 49th in 2013/14 Public High School 4-year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate, tied 45th with Colorado for economically disadvantaged, tied for 40th with North Carolina for students with limited English proficiency, and 45th with students with disabilities.

How much is an education worth?

There are undoubtedly numerous non-monetary benefits to a good education (both personal and social). However, in purely monetary terms the answer has to be "quite a lot." In 2001 the median income for men with professional degrees was $78,861 per year greater than that for men who never entered high school. Men who finished their schooling after earning a BA made on average $20,071 per year more than men with only a high school diploma.

Along with the financial data, more Americans are staying in school longer than ever before. Currently, almost 9-in-10 young adults graduate from high school and about 6-in-10 high school seniors go on to college the following year - both all-time highs. This means that the competition for good jobs will be even more challenging.

The December 2007 to January, 2010 recession and Todays Status

The first jobs to get cut and the last to start up again are in the lower income brackets. There is less leeway in this category since the amount of disposable income for items other than food, clothing and shelter is substantially less. Therefore, foreclosures and bankruptcies hit this group especially hard.

High school or less Lost 5.6 million jobs. Between January, 2010 and April, 2016, that category only gained 80,000 jobs back.

An associates degree or some college. Lost 1.8 million jobs. Broke even in December, 2012 and struggled to gain 3.1 million jobs back by April, 2016.

Those with a bachelor's degree or higher. Never lost jobs and starting in June, 2010 had gained 187,000 jobs and the climb continued over the next six years gaining 8.4 million jobs.

An inceased level of education leads to an increase in median weekly
earnings and a decrease in annual unemployment rates in 2015.

*Community colleges are the gateway to higher ed and better jobs for many Americans. In fact, nearly half of all post secondary students attend community colleges. Because of their relative low cost and accessibility, community colleges serve large numbers of low-income and first-generation college students. But to achieve a degree, students must stay in school. Unfortunately, nearly half of all students who are at a community college fail to earn a degree or transfer to another school within six years.

GED Recipients Have Lower Earnings, are Less Likely to Enter College

GED certificate holders had lower earnings than those who earned a regular high school diploma regardless of sex, race and ethnicity or age. Overall, high school diploma holders earned approximately $4,700 in mean monthly earnings compared with GED certificate holders, who earned $3,100. a difference of $19,200 a year.

But Andrew Carnegie didn't get a high school deploma

There are thousands of succssful people who didn't get a high-school diploma, thought extrodinary creative talent was the ticket for many and they aren't the norm. There are humdreds of thousands of potential graduates who didn't and too many of them remain below the poverty line and in need of financial assistance to get by. Many in the low skilled positions are going to be lost as many of those positions are taken over by robots and machines. While the high-school diploma opens the door, the need for vocational training and retraining will be necessary to keep up with the fast changing world.

Achieving a Million Dollar Dream

Jobs of the future will be what robots can't do

Jobs of the future will be what robots can't do. Dr Michio Kaku

Robots have very bad evesight. They can see shapes, uty not objects like faces, cups or chairs.

Pattern recognition and common sense are big problems for A.I. Roberts don't understand the simplest things about human behavior, about the world.

Robots don't know that water is wet or that strinsg fan pull but not [ush. So 2 jobs that will thrive in the future and the two jobs that will be destroyed are as follows:

Among blue-collar jobs

Repetitive jobs will be wiped out. The automobile and textile industry workers are particularly in danger.

Non-repetitive jobs will thrive: garbagemen, sanitation workers, gardeners, police, construction workers. Because every job is different.

Among white collar job

The people who will be thrown out of work are: low-level accountants, bookkeepers, agents and tellers, middlemen, - the friction of capitalism will be obliterated.

So who will benefit in the white-collar world? Workers who engage in intellectual capitalism. What is intellectual capialism? It involves common-sense: In other wores creativity, imagination, analysis, telling a joke, writing a script or a book, doing science. Tony Blair said, "England derives more revenue from rock music than coal. We're moving from a commodity based capital, like coal, to intellectual capital like rock and roll.

Summary

1. Simple. Get your diploma.

2. Next, be open to new experiences: The reality of entering and especially reentering the work world is that you might have to make some compromises. Be open to part-time, project or contract work. These short-term jobs often provide great experience and contracts that can help you land a job that is a perfect fit for you and all of the experiences you bring to the table.
