B) Is higher education really necessary to achieve ones goals, or is it all just propaganda?
C) - Before reading article: My answer to this question would be no. There have been a lot of cases where people either drop out or don't go to college at all and they still achieve their goals and live a happy life. My thoughts on college is that a lot of things can be self-taught with different resources and at your own pace. A lot of people think that higher education is absolutely necessary in order to get a job and support yourself and/or a family. Unless you need a degree for a licence such as a doctor, I think that you can teach yourself a lot of things. Universities teach everyone at the same pace and the same way, and different people learn different ways and at different paces.
- During: I agree with what the author says about higher education. Education IS expensive, it does often waste time and it is not necessary for success. This article talks about self-learners and how higher education is not for everyone although it does have a positive impact for alot of people, not everyone is the same.
- After: I liked the way this article included a lot of stats instead of just assuming that the audience would take their word for it.
- I picked this article because it basically had the title of my paper, "Do people need higher education to succeed?" and I thought it would contain a lot of useful information for my article. This article also included a book called "Hacking your education' by Dale Stephens and it made me interested in that book so I might use that for my book source.
