The American Dream refers to the idea that a person has the opportunity to succeed and prosper, despite their economic or social backgrounds, through hard work. But if the risin

35、g cost of tuition prohibits students from working through college, Can the American Dream still be obtained?B. Thirty years ago, the cost of tuition was low enough at most public universities that students could pay their way through school by working throughout college. But since the average cost o

36、f attendance for all 4-year public universities within a given state rises each year, this is now an almost impossible feat (功绩). 80 percent of students work at least part-time during college. Recently the question of whether or not working your way through school has become a “thing of the past“ wa

37、s raised by Randy Olson, a graduate student at Michigan State University, who decided to investigate the issue at his own university.C. His research found that in 1979 at MSU, a student could work one day for any minimum wage job (8.44 hours) at $2.90 per hour to pay for one credit hour of school. I

38、n 2013, the same student would have to work 60 hours to pay for one credit hour based on the minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.D. The average price of tuition at 4-year public universities rose 2.9% in 2013. This was the smallest tuition increase in nearly 30 years. Since 2004, the average cost of atte

39、nding a public university in a given state has continuously increased as well. Minimum wage only rose in ten states in 2013, while tuition went up in every state.E. With these numbers in mind, its no surprise some students are working almost full time to pay for school. Ryan Rose, a sophomore at the

40、 University of Southern California, works about 30 hours a week to pay for his expenses. While the university covers his cost of attendance, he still feels the need to work to cover the high cost of living in Los Angeles. “If I went to school at home, I would have expenses that are more fun based, r

41、ather than things like buying food and paying rent,“ he says. “But I felt the educational appeal of USC was going to give me more money in the long run.“F. As a production manager for USCs “Trojan Events and Services,“ Rose handles the logistics of booking and planning events on USCs campus. Since h

42、is job reflects highly on the university, he feels a need to prioritize his work over other aspects of college. “Its changed my college experience because it creates stress that students who arent working dont think about,“ Rose says. “There are times where I have to decide if an event is more impor

43、tant than a homework assignment because I care about the universitys image.“G. Courtney Williams, a sophomore at Fullerton College, works three separate jobs to pay her way through community college. “I work about 45 hours per week. I wouldnt have three jobs if it werent for the high cost of school.

44、 Im paying my own way through college.I keep up with my studies but I feel like I lose out on college experiences,“ Williams says.H. Williams is transferring to Cal State Fullerton in the fall, using money shes saved up during her first two years at community college. “I got into all the schools I w

45、anted when I applied in high school, but I didnt have enough money at the time. If the cost of college wasnt so high, maybe I could only work one job like a normal student,“ Williams says.I. Although Olsons data do not analyze the costs of private schools such as USC, he did broaden his research to

46、include all public four-year universities in the U.S. Olson analyzed the rising cost of tuition from 1987 to 2010 at these schools and found very similar results. After adding a linear regression analysis to find tuition costs in 1979, he found that 182 hours a year could pay for a students tuition

47、in full. In 2013, it would take 991 hours to pay for the same year of school. But all of Olsons data only take into account the cost of tuition, meaning he does not include the cost of food, rent, books and general living expenses.J. Working 30 hours a week allows students like Rose to pay for expen

48、ses outside of tuition. Although Roses financial aid package includes a work-study allotment (勤工俭学助学金), this isnt enough to cover his college costs outside of tuition. “If my company limited my hours to my work-study allotment I wouldnt be able to attend school because I wouldnt have enough money. I get the same work-study allotment as some of my friends who live in much Cheaper states where the cost of living is m
