Protecting Diminishing African-American Net Worth Through Self-Reinvestment via Graduate School Education

Posted by andrieturner 551 days ago (Editorial)

AFRICANEWSWIRE.NET (November, 14 2011) Lakeview Terrace -- According to a recent Pew Research Center study, based on U.S. Census figures, African-American households net worth declined by over 50%. Much of this erosion is due to the housing prices that have depressed housing values across the United States. However, it cannot be denied that the steep decline compared to other ethnic groups can also be traced through historical structural discriminatory issues that impede African-American economic progress in the United States.

Graduate school as self-reinvestment

Many African-American members are looking towards self-reinvestment in their human capital to recoup some of this network loss. Simply put, self-reinvestment through human capital means investing in further education. This usually takes the form of taking a certification course or going back to school completing a degree of going to graduate school. This process increases protection against the ravages of the soft economy because historically, people with advanced degrees have higher employment chances and are less likely to be unemployed. This is definitely a good path to take. Moreover, there are programs especially for recent college graduates to pursue where their college loans are deferred if they go to graduate school.

"However, self-reinvestment can mean heavier competition with not only the existing base of student applicants thinking of the same graduate school program, it also means competing with other people who are reinvesting in themselves as well." This is according to Alex Willington, media relations officer for samplegraduateschoolessay.com, the internet's leading source of sample graduate school essay writing resources and free writing guides. "To help anybody impacted by the ravages of the current soft global economy, samplegraduateschoolessay.com has released a graduate school writing guide that is designed to help applicants craft custom essays that will help them get noticed," said Willington.

"Just like everywhere else, first impressions count for a lot. We teach graduate school applicants how to put their best foot forward with this guide." This is according to Willington. This guide is designed to help applicants create a strong, effective and immediate impact on the admissions committee member reading their essay. If one falls within a range of many other applicants, in terms of grades, admission test scores and extracurricular activities, a well-crafted graduate school essay can definitely give one a competitive advantage.
