College Is A Waste Of Time

-
In the essay "College is a waste of time" Stephens appeals to the audience by stating that college is broken. We go to college to get a higher education so that we can receive a higher paying job. What they don't tell us is that after graduation employers only want people with experience. So, your paper diploma means nothing in the real world. Now, most college graduates are left stranded with countless amounts of debt, no job, and no experience. There is an alternative to college which is usually more productive like building your own businesses. Working on projects of your own to help build skills needed for real life situations. For example, Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish college but he's a millionaire. We can learn so much more outside of the classroom than we can inside. We also  have a higher chance to receive a great job with experience or talent. All you have to do is focus on your priorities.

    Even thought the pillars of argument was not there your, how the author appeals to his audience, was great. I see you put an example to further explain what the author was getting at. I totally agree with you when it comes to how college graduates are left stranded with debt, and little to no experience, making it hard to find jobs in the field that they went to school for, making you wonder. Is it worth going to school??

  Imagine it being your first day as a senior in high school. You wake up that morning extra early anxious and excited to get back to see your friends you’ve been away from the entire summer break. It’s your last year of high school and your life couldn’t be more perfect. The end of the school day arrives and you’re all excited to run home to tell your folks about what a wonderful day you had. You make it home, but today you aren’t greeted by the scent of your mom cooking dinner or the sound of your dad watching sports on tv. On this day you are greeted with the stench of silence and your parents have this very dull solemn look on their faces. They sit you down at the table to tell you some news. Your mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I know right, world crushing news. How could I know? I know because a very similar scenario happened to me. My mom was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. She had to quit her job to receive her treatment. Now, she needed to know how coul
