Is Overseas Higher Education Still Worth the Price?
It can cost up to $ 40,000 a year to attend the best schools in America. Despite the devastating recession, the cost of attending a university has continued to rise. Public in-state tuition averages $ 7,000 a year while private schools average $26,000. On top of tuition, there is at least another $ 12,000 for room and board, books, and other expenses.
Yayun Pan travelled half way around the world from China to study economics at Georgetown, one of the most prestigious universities in America. She says she wants to broaden her horizon.
"This is an international world and it’s not enough for me to study only in my hometown. " That’s a feeling shared by Jaewoo Kim—who came here from South Korea to study international relations. "Pressure for a good education is very high back home. And Korean parents tend to be more aggressive about their children’s education and a better future. " He is paying nearly $ 50,000 this year for tuition, room, and board.
But the devastating recession and unemployment at nearly 10 percent cast doubt on whether a college degree still worth the cost. Elyse Ashburn, senior editor, said, "So much money invested in a higher education is worth the cost. I think it matters where they go and get a degree. The reality is that different places have different values in the market place. That depends on the student and what they can afford. " Prof. Stephen Rosen, Georgetown University, said, " The data is overwhelming that education is more important than ever before. The financial ratio of a BA graduate versus a high school graduate has exploded in the last few decades. Put it in simpler words, overseas higher education truly is still worth the efforts. "

答案
Overseas Higher Education Is Still Worth the Price Hefty expenses of overseas universities have put people into questioning minds—Is overseas higher education still worth the price? The aspiration for a wider horizon and the pressure for a better education are the main reasons that push students abroad, who, thankfully, are ensured by experts that their investment in higher education will be rewarded handsomely. Advanced overseas education, despite its woefully high tuition, is a sure route to a decent life for graduates. Firstly, in this era of knowledge economy, most prestigious industries acknowledge and welcome the high-flying graduates from the first-rank universities whose rigorous, innovative and updated teaching can rival other schools as the most exuberant suppliers of qualified graduates. The highly competitive environment breeds the highly competitive brains whose expertise fully trained during school time will undoubtedly make an abundant application to the job market. Moreover, even for those who have chosen a less lucrative major, a span of overseas experience, the avatar of a wider horizon and a deeper touch with alien cultures, surely nourishes the soul, though, for the time being, it may not fatten the wallet. The intellectual ingredients such as critical thinking, creative power, communicative skills picked from overseas universities will still guarantee a better shot in the job market. In a word, the crescendo of both the tuition and other related cost of overseas higher education may dwarf the potentiality of its worth; however, in the long run, in this lackluster market, should graduates from the top-drawer schools have a difficult time in securing jobs and get paid off, who else would have a better chance?
