Abstract
In 2023, the value of a college education is being questioned. Because information is readily available, we Google what we want to know, type a query or phrase into ChatGPT, press the enter key, and then a multitude of answers become accessible. However, in this age of technology, online access, and Artificial Intelligence, could self-directed education be adequate for developing the skills and knowledge necessary to accomplish our chosen careers and develop the nation's workforce? For centuries, higher education has been the source of opportunity, advanced credentials, and credibility. Therefore, colleges require the investment of time, money, and resources to equip students with the skills and capacities necessary for self-sustaining careers. With the rising cost of higher education, this dissertation examines the return on investment in career acquisition among college students. When college admission serves as the legally binding contract between students and educational institutions, what education and benefits do college graduates receive and justly deserve to obtain gainful employment? The study emphasizes the value of education in achieving career attainment. This study seeks to inspire and empower college students to take charge of their career pursuits. This dissertation debunks passive students who mindlessly enter college without a sense of purpose and passion or who claim that college is not for them. These multi-case study showcases the Culinary Arts and Hospitality and Tourism programs at the University of Hawai'i Maui College, highlighting the integration of career development knowledge and process into its academic instruction to elevate students' capacity to attain their chosen careers as they reach college completion.
