The article “The Return of the Overeducated American?” by William R. Doyle shows the two sides of the argument on the topic if college is worth the cost. The labor market data confirms that individuals with higher level of education earn more even if its the same occupation as the high school graduates. According to Doyle, students with a higher education develop intellectual and communication skills which benefits them because they are able to become managers of businesses. College graduates also have greater potential for promotions which increases their income allowing them to provide a better lifestyle for themselves and their family. Individuals work their way up within most fields because higher positions are more well paid. On the other…
After reading the article “Reading and Writing in College” by Kim Flachmann, I completely agree with Flachmann’s argument on the importance of reading and writing skills for college students along with those who are in the work force. In the article, Flachmann expresses the value of reading and writing skills by writing that they are “necessary for surviving both in college and on the job” (Flachmann, 2014). My agreement with Flachmann’s argument is based on the activities that a college student and a worker face on a daily basis since they revolve around those skills. For a college student, these skills are essential in order to get through college. When it comes to the reading and writing skills, a college student is expected to not only…

In the article Is College Worth It? Clearly, New Data Say by The New York Times explains that college is more valuable then it was before. It explains how college graduates are feeling more overqualified for the job that they do. Due to the fact that they are getting paid as much as with a degree that they had. It also explains that college graduates who actually graduate with a four-year degree are going to get paid more salary-wise then they did before many years ago. One of the major downfalls was that they aren't getting paid the wages that they should be. Therefore I believe that pursuing a college career and attending university is worth it because you have the opportunity to expand your education, you'll eventually be paid more than…

Pursuing a higher education by attending college can greater your chances of getting a better job. When people go for a job interview, the interviewer is looking for someone with a college education. Yes, the person being interviewed may still get the job if they do not have a college education, but the person with the most education nine times out of ten will be the one chosen for the job. When someone has a higher education listed on their resumes it also qualifies them for a higher salary. Take working at a fast food restaurant for example. There are, crew members who earn minimum wage with nothing higher than a high school education, and then there are the store managers, general managers, district managers, etc. These are the people who have a college education and they earn anywhere from about ten dollars an hour and up. College has its perks even though the cost of it may deter people away, one has to be determined.…
