This is what the teacher said: This is a good start. Two areas you need to focus on;
1. There are no citations and no Works Cited page. This is a serious concern.
2. The essay is written as a group of long summaries of articles. You have the information organized as a Rogerian essay, but it is too disconnected.
** You must work on these areas as they carry many points on your research paper.

Is College education worth the costs
College education is a long term investment that pays off in more ways than one. The first reason is that college graduates earn significantly more over their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma. According to a survey conducted by the US Census Bureau, individuals with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $1 million more than those who only have a high school diploma. This higher earning potential translates into a better standard of living and more job opportunities for college graduates. Another reason why college education is worth the cost is that it offers a broader range of career options. With the increasing demand for skilled labor in today’s workforce, a college degree provides a competitive edge when it comes to securing a job. College education offers students the chance to explore various fields of study and gain the skills and knowledge required to succeed in their chosen careers. In addition, college prepares students with valuable critical thinking and problem solving skills that are applicable to any profession. Investing in college may be costly, but it pays off in terms of financial stability, career opportunities, and personal growth.
This article “College May Not Be Worth It Anymore” by Ellen Shell on page 33 disagrees that College education is worth the costs. She said College students ages 25 to 29 now hold at least a bachelor’s degree, and many paid heavily for the privilege. By last summer, Americans owed more than $1.3 trillion in student loans, more than two and a half times what they owed a decade earlier. Young people and their families go into debt because they believe that college will help them in the job market. People who have dropped out of college about 40 percent of all who attend earn only a bit more than do people with only a high school education, $38,376 a year versus $35,256. For many, that advantage is barely enough to cover their student loan debt. African American college dropouts on average earn less than do white Americans with only a high school degree. Meanwhile, low income students of all races are far more likely to drop out of college than are wealthier students. Even with scholarships or free tuition, these students struggle with hefty fees and living costs, and they pay the opportunity cost of taking courses rather than getting a job. Disturbingly, black and Hispanic students are significantly less likely than are white and Asian students to attend elite colleges, even when family income is controlled for. Students from wealthy black and Hispanic families have a lower chance of attending an elite college than do students from middle class white families. College graduates born poor earned on average only slightly more than did high school graduates born middle class. By middle age, male college graduates raised in poverty were earning less than non degree holders born into the middle class. Students from poor backgrounds have less access to very high income jobs in technology, finance and other fields. Nearly 30 percent of Americans without a high school diploma live in poverty, compared to 5 percent with a college degree, and we infer that this comes from a lack of education. But in 28 other wealthy developed countries, a lack of a high school diploma increases the probability of poverty by less than 5 percent.
