Why you should consider college:
There are many reasons you should consider pursuing education after high school, but here are some highlights:
Lifetime earnings: people with an associate's degree earn 1.5 times more than people with just a high school diploma. For people with a bachelor's degree, it's nearly 2 times more. This adds up to millions of dollars over your lifetime.
Job stability: People with some kind of college degree are less likely to be unemployed during their careers.
Personal growth: 79% of college graduates said that "their college education was extremely or very useful when it came to helping them grow personally and intellectually" according to an October 2021 Pew Research Center survey.
Overall health: College graduates tend to lead healthier lifestyles, and they live nearly 5 years longer on average compared to high school graduates.
What I can help you with:
As a College and Career adviser, I can help you with deciding what you are interested in after high school, questions about applying to certificate, 2-year, and 4-year degree programs, information about scholarships and financial aid, filling out applications, how to be successful in college, and more. I'll be working closely with the Senior class, but everyone is welcome to meet with me.
Why you should come meet with me:
I'll be rolling out an incentive program where if you meet with me and have thoughtful questions about college and careers, you'll be entered into a drawing for free swag and candy.
How you can get a hold of me:
You or your parents can reach me anytime via email at Christopher.Coburn@watervlietps.org with questions or to set up a meeting.
My role is split between Watervliet and Coloma High School, so I will be here half of the time (please see the attached schedule). On days that I'm here, I will normally be in the Media Center or the Library, so feel free to drop in.
Thank you, and let's have a good school year.
