Journal Exercise pg. 525

Students working for one year between high school and college would be beneficial. They will be able to get the feel for working somewhere and realize what they have to do to keep a job. They should then be motivated enough to go and study at college so they can get a better job and get paid more in the future. While saving up money for college, they can get to know what it’s like to be in the work force. They will then learn more in college that will help them in the future when they want to get another job related to their major. Getting a job in between high school and college is good because you get put in the “real world” right away. You might even be lucky and your employer will let you work on breaks during college. I wish I could have worked for a whole year in between high school and college so I could save more money before going to college. I feel like the summer between high school and college went way too fast because I was working. I would have rather worked a whole year so I could save up even more money to pay for college.

Claim: Students should work for one year between high school and college. It would be helpful and a win-win situation. While saving up money for college, students will gain valuable information and skills that they can develop even better while in college.

Arguments for: Money will be saved to pay for college; skills will be developed in the work force, preparing you for college and what you will learn

Arguments against: Students need to go straight to college after graduating high school; making money isn’t the main thing in life; you will get your degree faster if you don’t work for a whole year
