College Education

Paper Summary:

This paper presents the opinion of unnecessary college education. The paper is organized in a problem-solution/complication-resolution format. The problem of rising college costs is discussed, followed by the solution to avoid going to college. The paper then examines possible complications; for example, if people don't go to college they can't get work. The resolution was that college should be both avoided and socially discredited.

From the Paper:

"It's become a widely recognized fact. College is expensive, and saddles students with lifelong debts. Moreover, observation shows that people learn very little in college and that knowledge and talent in a field may be unrelated to the degrees that one has. There's a simple solution to this problem: the youth of this nation should refuse to go to colleges where they will be saddled with debt and useless information. Of course, many people would complain that without going to college, one is not qualified for jobs in the real world. It is true that many jobs will not hire people who go to school, but this does not make the unschooled less qualified. If everyone refused to go to school, then corporations would simply have to accept new standards for hiring, such as talent. It is my argument that college is not worth the price and people should not pursue a college education unless they have plenty of money to spare, don't care about overthrowing the unjust system, and don't actually have the talent to compete in an open (not degree-based) market."
