I clearly remember the day I found my father lying on the sidewalk as he suffered from a stroke. I was barely a teenager when my father became ill. My family spent countless hours in the hospital, nursing home, and various doctors ' offices trying to learn what had happened to this man who was our pillar of strength. I recall how the nurses became his greatest advocate and always voiced their concern for him. In those moments I realized I had found my calling in the field of nursing. Today, my…
Case Against College Lee essentially claims that college is unnecessary and a huge waste of time. Lee’s statement that college is unnecessary is completely incorrect. She used several statistics to support her claim, but left out all of the opposing statistics. Lee used an example of her own son to strengthen her argument, but this does not support her thesis completely. College is worth the investment and time because of the success and sense of accomplishment that comes with obtaining a…
College is Not a Waste In the essay, “College is a Waste of Time and Money,” author, Caroline Bird states how college is not a good option for people. Bird says students are not being prepared for their jobs, aren 't guaranteed a better salary after college, and many more reasons why college isn 't important. Not everyone belongs in college, I agree, but it does have its benefits. I believe college is absolutely not a waste of money and time. It is expensive, but it returns so much more…
In paragraph thirty seven, Rosin 's concerns about women dominating higher education, fails to advocate that men are "failing to adapt" to education after high school. She begins by stating that "women now earn 60 percent of masters degrees" however she does not state what the sixty percent of masters degrees represents.

Regarding the Worth of College In this paper I will be arguing for why college is worth it. Worth in this context is going to be thought of in terms of quality of job, rid of debt at some point, and more options open to a person. The reason for questioning why college would not be worth it is as follows: As price of school increases and jobs are not promised many students such as myself wonder if going to college is worth it. A four year degree alone can rack up debt. I have found completing a…

Being the first person in the history of my family to pursue a college degree, it took a lot of research and autodidacticism to learn the process of getting into college. The fact that my mother only made it to 5th grade and my father to 2nd grade, pursuing a bachelor’s degree was never something my parents envisioned me to accomplish. I was never raised with meeting educational expectations because they weren’t ever set in the first place. It wasn’t something I envisioned for myself either,…
