Second education: why College best university

Receive a second degree can be for various reasons. Someone wants to improve their skills and engaged in the study related to their specialty areas. Someone is chasing prestige and beautiful resume. But someone understands that he was mistaken in the choice after high school, and decided to turn in the opposite direction.

In any case, before you run to the selection committee university, Look at a different level. In Russia, the 3500 secondary special educational institutions, the vast majority of which are public. Colleges and technical schools among them about the same amount.

Many, like universities and academies, are given the chance to get an education remotely. Almost every college or technical school has evening department.

Why specialized secondary education can be better than higher?

Speed

The time for which you get a specialty in college - 3-4 years. The College - 2-3 years. The university - 4-6 years. When you are no longer 16, spend a couple of years to study objects that are not useful, it is meaningless.

specific specialty

If you decide to change profession, vocational education gives more chances to get ready skills. The university provides more general knowledge, technical college and concrete.

cost of

If you are after high school came to the university, you can go to college for free.

In the Russian Federation guaranteed access to free in accordance with the federal state educational standards of preschool, primary general, basic general and general secondary education, secondary vocational education, as well as on a competitive basis a higher education if the education level of the citizen receives first.

Federal Law № 273-FZ "On Education in the Russian Federation"

Even if the budget options do not suit you (for example, free evening and correspondence departments is extremely small), training costs will be lower than in high school.

Universities will cost 40-300 thousand rubles year. Colleges - at 30-150. The specific price depends on the region and on the specialty, and from the institution's rating. But the price tag is the best college at about the middle of high school. But the choice of colleges willing to train you for the 30-50 thousand, many times more.

supply

enrollment conditions to obtain a second formation, each university and colleges differ. But the entrance tests at many colleges, especially in the evening department, effort is required. Even the number of examinations less than in high school.

According to statistics, last year out of ten admitted to universities entered one entrant. In colleges, the figure is five to one.

Load

After work, you take the child out of kindergarten, standing in a traffic jam, go to the store, to the gym or running on a second job. But now you're learning! All you need to cancel, and rush to the lecture. According to the stories, if learning on the specialty "Banking". Or to physical education (and the subject in almost all federal education programs). It's not even funny.

So, in the secondary vocational program shared objects much easier. Most of you do not even have to attend, but bring a diploma and write an application. In this case, special subjects are taught at a high level.

accelerated learning

After college, you're holding a new profession. And the opportunity to grow in it, get at least third and even fourth higher, learning universities accelerated program (bachelor) in parallel with a new job.

Practice

Colleges "train" students to work. Number of workshops will be off-scale, specialized secondary schools, after you come to the workplace and quietly begin to work.

Of course, we are talking about a good college. But you do not go to the poor?

employers

I already foresee shaft comments: "All employers require a college education!". In fact, the employer will take a person more likely to experience, albeit in a different field, and a diploma of college than high school graduate eminent, who had seen the work of only a rare practice. Yes and famous colleges are not listed worse than many universities.

And now to talk about the disadvantages of objectivity.

Program

Decide what you are looking for. If you want to research and in-depth study of one or another sphere, go to the university. If you want a certificate, go to the courses. If you need management skills, read the book. From colleges and technical schools have to wait very concrete results, and not the ability to do everything at once. Specialized secondary education is still highly directional.

teachers

It's not about skill, in SSUZ taught by experienced and knowledgeable people. But they are used to dealing with children, who came often after the ninth grade. Switch to adults it is more difficult, and it often leads to distortions. From students of evening is waiting for 200% attendance, then forced to draw posters and wall newspaper, the threaten to put the evaluation to score lower, not realizing that you have no one to abuse at home for three or four. Sometimes it's annoying, but it helps to remember his childhood.

Do you mean special education approaches as the second?
