April 15- On Beauty

Tax Day! I hope everybody has filed their taxes on time! :)

Should grades matter? I think that they should matter to an extent. In society we put so much pressure on high school students to go to college and get a degree and go to grad school, and potentially get a doctorate. Since there is so much pressure on students to receive a degree beyond high school, those who decide not to get a degree are left behind. They are told that they wont be able to find a good paying job without that degree. Society has made it impossible for someone with just a high school degree to feel adequate. When applying for jobs, most applications ask for what "higher education" the applicant has received and those that haven't received a college degree are looked over simply because of that fact, even if they could be amazing at that job.
