College not only allows you easier access to a steady above minimum wages but also access to more life itself. Imagine yourself as a 80 year old grandparent, you could die pretty much anytime at that at age, but you can spend more time with your future family if you decide to get a Bachelor’s degree. I know this may sound as ludicris as the early 2000’s rapper, but according to the Center of Desease Control (CDC) “Between 1996-2006, the gap in life expectancy at age 25 between those with less than a high school education and those with a bachelor’s degree or higher increased by 1.9 years for men and 2.8 years for women. On average in 2006, 25-year-old men without a high school diploma had a life expectancy 9.3 years less than those with a Bachelor’s degree or higher. Women without a high school diploma had a life expectancy 8.6 years less than those with a bachelor’s degree or higher.” Now if this doesnt convince you of that the claim is legitamate then im not sure what will. It is scientifically proven that you can spend more time on this planet with people you love, doing things you love to do, if you make the choice to go to college and earn a degree. Subsequently, the purpose of this essay is not for the benefit of me as the author. It is to benefit you as the reader. College is important to attend in order to have a stable income later in life. College is the smart thing to do. Go to college please. Make more money than you would, have a steady retirement fund, be able to suport a family, spend more time that we have so little of with your family. Make the smart

In the essay “Should everyone go to college?” by Owen and Sawhill published in They Say I Say, Owen and Sawhill talks about how people with a degree benefits more than someone without a degree.

Individuals with a college degree beat an individual without a college degree in every category. Although, Owen and Sawhill speaks about the benefits of having a college degree, the authors do not think college is for everyone.

However, in the article, “Why College Isn’t for Everyone”, Matthews describes a diagram taken from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Based on the diagram, the lower quartile demonstrates that students with a four year degree seemingly do not make more money than a high school graduate. While this may sound as if people should not attend college, the root cause of this problem is that individuals are not putting enough thought into their future. In other words, individuals who do not have a future plan for their career or degree is negatively affecting society. They may be moving from one job to another and sacrificing a lower pay for a job, ultimately not knowing what they want to do with their earned degree.

The authors’ emphasis on “on average” is very effective at showing how their point makes sense and why it should be taken into consideration. I found the way that the authors focused on the minority more than the majority was skillfully effective at showing how some career paths do not require a college education and that the return in investment would not be worth the cost. Throughout their argument I found the writers to mostly use Logos and Ethos in their writing. The Logos is evident by the way they use statistics and the Ethos by how they state telling someone the only way to be successful is to go to college is a disservice. This is effective at making the reader think about how this should affect the decision of going to college and whether they should push someone to go to

She writes “If a 1972 Princeton bound high-school graduate had put the $34,181 that his four years of college would have cost him into a savings bank at 7.5 percent interest he would have more than five time as much as the $199,000 extra the more educated man could expect to earn” (432). The author made a good point. Although many people will not save that much money. However, many people that attend college will have student loans to pay off, which can take years to payoff, thus allowing the person that didn’t attend college to make more money. In the article “Making College Worth It” by Philip Oreopoulos and Uros Petronijevic they explain why college can be worth it for people and what to consider when choosing to attend college.

In “The Dangers of Telling Poor Kids That College Is the Key to Social Mobility”, Andrew Simmons, a high school teacher who teaches in a poor area of Los Angeles, argues that students should be taught to go to college in order to have “an intellectual awakening”. The writer’s purpose is to persuade and inform his readers to accept his view on the flaws of the education system. According to Simmons, teachers promote higher education by focusing on the economic advantages it could bring instead of the actual education that is offered. Because teachers focus on the financial benefits of college, students in poor areas focus on their potential wealth instead of their future education while students in wealthier areas focus on their future careers

But one thing is that those are small amount of people. From an article ‘Why a College Degree Is Still Worth It’ by Wess Moss from the The Balance explains how there are data that indicates college degree is still worth it, “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the pay gap between those with a four-year degree and those with a highschool degree is ar a record high. Those with a four-year college degree earn a median weekly salary of $1,137, whereas employees with a high degree average $678” (Moss 2). Even though if college graduated people have depts in their bank account, they would most likely pay off their loans pretty soon. Their could be a theory that the idea of not going to college and just working could be a way to earn more money after all would be misleading since people who are college graduated, their extra credit of work for higher education will be acknowledged from their workplace and would indicate as important and would pay the person more than someone who did not do anything to make them more educated.
