why do college students now have to do community service to graduate?

It makes you more well-rounded.  And it looks better on a resume than "waitress".

The friends I know who do it, do it because it's better than no work at all.  Demand is OK, depending on your local conditions.\n\nMost of them went to community college (or full four-year college), and have no good words to say for online and correspondence "training" in the field.

There are a lot of jobs that are less desirable for the college grads.  Often, these are physically demanding, or perhaps somewhat dangerous jobs.  like: police, fireman, military, trucker, oil rig worker, coal miner, fisherman etc.  All paid very well.

Chances are, they did it for your own good.  I was in the same situation when I was your age.  I finished going to school and got my degree.  They didn't want you to screw up your future.  You'll have more power to do what you want once you've got school squared away.  Hope this helps. :)

not everyone can afford to go and alot of times, out of high school many kids get involved in jobs that they end up loving and making a career out of.  Alot of people are lazy and do not have the drive to want to take school any further, and those are the adults you see working at mcdonalds or places in the mall

Education shouldn't be dumbed down to answer to the demands of a generation that has been abusing so many things now. Students need to work harder if they really want to get something out of it. I mean, we go to school to learn. Many seem to be forgetting that nowadays.

Well, you graduated from college and you're still unemployed. You're supposed to be making something out of yourself right now. People would kill to get into college and get started on their career.\n\nA college graduate without a job, people who aren't as educated with you have a job. You kind of come off as a bum.\n\n[edit]\nHaving good grades and coming from a good college doesn't mean anything if you're unemployed. Your grades aren't going to give you a place to live or pay the bills.

Maybe because the GPA of the person became too low.  Also, if a required class for that school is failed or the person receives too low of a grade that can make the school reconsider their reason for accepting the student.

You can take whatever courses you are lacking to get into the social work area. I think most social workers have a masters degree. It is sad, but I see too many people go to college without any set goals in regards to employment after college. All college students should major in something that can earn them a reasonable wage, not just to take up time and space at college, and then later down the line, find out that what they trained for is useless in earning a real living.

Some might agree with you, but there are others, for instance, people who already have a profession and must attend their 9-5 jobs in order to support their families, but also have the desire to make a career change or advancement which requires further education.  When you have a family or trying to make changes in your life, you must be adult enough not to make them sacrifice for you.  Those particular schools are not traditional, but offer the same educational fulfillment's that are required for job advancement outside of the basic 9-5 school/job hours.  Many courses are offered on line, for instance.  I must correct you, however, if these particular educational institutions were not as "up to par" as other "normal" state colleges/universities, the federal government would not provide the same tuition assistance toward attending them.

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).

because nowadays, you cant get a job without education past high school it seems.

There are a few reasons 1) The educational system, and society in general, thinks that by rounding out your education, you will be more versatile to give back to suety.  Further, you will be enriched personally, and that's important to appreciate the various aspects of society and life.  2) It gives you exposure to different fields to help you decide what you want to do.  We are a nation of creators and innovators, and the system wants to encourage that. The education system and society also want people to focus on their competencies so we have maximum efficiency, and that can only be achieve if you are exposed to everything to discover what you're really good and AND what you really like. 3) Knowledge is valued, and it is power.  A creative approach supported by appropriate knowledge opens up new avenues  4) The school systems are mass welfare states for the professors.  To obtain life's earning pass, students are  going to be forced to take a wide range of courses that they are probably even better off without.  That pass enables the teachers to re-enforce their valueless system, and to retain the benefits that the university-welfare system provides them, so that instead of being forced to "do" and actually contribute to society, they can sit on the sidelines and vomit their ideological bile for four years, decrying society that "has it all wrong".\n\nIt could be any of the above 4.

Cause no one wants a fresh college graduate anymore.  Because all the old people still need jobs.  So they fill the position with more experienced people.\nMostly the downfall of the ecommerce broke many many people.

A community college is a two year college that offers associates degrees, certificate programs, and continuing education/community interest courses and workshops.\n\nCommunity Colleges are tied into the local community and are usually governed by a local board that is appointed by the local governing body. The community colleges have as their goals to offer wide access to a college education, to train the local workforce, and to contribute to the economic development of their community.\n\nBecause they are local, relatively inexpensive, and schedule classes so that people can go part-time, they offer ready access to people of all ages who want to get college training.\n\nSee this article on community colleges:\nhttp://www.csi.edu/support/hr/orientation/College.htm

Both.\n\nIt is appalling to me that there are parents out there who do not want to invest in their children's lives to help make them a more successful adult. \nBut, at the same time, the child will learn to appreciate the value of their education if they in fact had to work for it themselves.\n\nIt's hard enough being a young adult and dealing with all the new responsibilities of adulthood to have to also deal with how the hell you're going to pay your tuition! It's not fair of parents to expect children to afford college on their own 100%, especially considering how the cost of a college education has continued to incline consistently over the last few years.

because community college isnt a real college or university...people only spend a few years there and they do not have the same priorities as those at traditional 4 year institutions
