when i came into class i never really thought writing as a series of task. (in high school i was always the kid that stayed up the night a paper was due to do the entire thing.) Also in hs i never really got to go do primary research outside of the book so the primary research was fun.

Ernest does not have page numbers at the top

heading at the top of paper are different

Class was good

Yes I have answered my research question. The answer is no, you do not need to go to college to be successful, but it is highly advantageous to go, with successful being defined as having a steady income that can be lived off of.

Topic: College

Issue: Going

R.Q.: Is going to to college the only way to be successful in modern day? (successful=Has a steady income that can be lived off of)

Answer: No, college is not the only way to be successful, but people with college degrees on average make more money.

Audience: High school students who are on the fence of going to college or pursue to be educated in a different form

Tentative Claim: Many believe that the only way to succeed is by going to college but people are truly successful without a college degree.

Reason: There are other options for post high school education and make money

Evidence: Vocational/Trade Schools

Reason: There are necessary jobs that do not require a college degree

Evidence: Judd Klusmeyer

Reason: College tuition is not proportional to career income

The article talks about how vocational/trade schools work in different countries. It highlights different ways different countries do it.

I really did not see an argument being presented.

This source will be good for providing information on different alternatives for college

Vedder, Richard. “Benefits of College-by Degrees.” Computer, vol. 51, no. 6, 2018, pp. 96-99.

Richard Vedder compares how college graduates with STEM degrees compare with graduates with other degrees and with only college degree. Vedder really talks about how going to college pays for itself based on college tuition, the difference between a college graduates income and a high school graduate’s income, and lifetime of work. He also talks about the underemployment of STEM major is below the national average.

Vedder’s argument is really based off of logic. His argument is for going to college.
