Is colleg< value de By BETTY BUDNEK ? r tA ? uanicLin.lv old it ??IIICI The value of a college education is diminishing, according to some authorities, but the University of South Carolina Career Planning and Placement Office disagrees with the findings. Newsweek said in a 1976 article that a college graduate now can expect to start out at a salary only 6 per cent higher than any other worker beginning in the labor force. JAMES B. CAMPBELL, acting director of the Career Development Center, disagrees. He said, "The first job a college student gets after graduation is just his first job/not his career," he said. He explained that the collegeeducated person can move up while any other beginning employe might not have the same opportunities. According to the magazine article, college costs rise each year, but returns on the college investment are diminishing. According to Ruth F. Quattlebaum, assistant placement director of the Center, said, the value of college education cannot simply be measured by salary level. She strongly believes college should "round out your life." "NOT ONLY does it enrich the individual's cultural level, but raises his level of understanding of himself so he knows his needs and can make the decisions necessary to satisfy them." Campbell, who is also vice president of student affairs, agrees with Quattlebaum and said, "Most people don't come to college specifically pursuing a job." Campbell also said the student develops career objectives as his education takes form. When he finds his interests, he begins specializing his pursuit of knowledge. Campbell said, "Therefore everyone may need basic math skills, but not '&r.Fiuuv&jrm e's clining? necessarily higher math. Everyone needs basic communication skills." Campbell disagreed with NIpwcwpaIt'c Qlntoninnt that *>7 tvor cent of the nation's work force may be "overeducated." UNEMPLOYMENT IS higher in some fields, Newsweek stated. For instance, unemployment for liberal arts majors is up to 15 per cent, nearly twice the unemployment rate for the entire labor force. Quattlebaum said more companies are recruiting on campus lately. She said the cutbacks Newsweek refers to are in education and social work, and are possibly temporary. "When the government cuts back on funds, these jobs are naturally affected first," she said. Steven Muller, president of John Hopkins University, said- in Newsweek, "The college education is no longer well-rounded and therefore does not prepare the student for alternative jobs outside his major." MULLER COMPLAINS that some students today are literate, but poor in math, whereas some are excellent engineers but are illiterate. Campbell said the problem Muller thinks is new has always been the case since the existence of higher education. Robert L. Armstrong, assistant dean for development of the College of Business Administration, said the viAAw elrillo r* *-v |AIUI DIVIIIO gu IWVA UCJTUIIU U1C college education. Armstrong said he knows of truck drivers who make $48,000 annually, in comparison to school teachers who are very minimally paid. "No wonder functional illiterates are in our colleges when such a great deal of emphasis is placed on service-related industries to the point where they can unionize and demand higher wages. We have experienced a de-emphasis on the > learned individuals," Armstrong j said. Campbell blames the federal government for this emphasis. "Four years ago the federal government launched a campaign to encourage students to go to technical schools," he said. I PROBLEM | PREGNANCY? NEED HELP?
