There are ___ who says that the college degree is not that necessary to be rich, or be educated. For example, Steve Jobs_who dropped out of the college, and now he is the owner of Apple Company. However, there are those who say that the college degree is important to improve the personal life and have enough money to live the life as it should be. Also, there are some advantages skills that students gain during the college and after graduate that employers need most, and ____ help the students to prepare themselves for job. Im going to talk in this paper about the different authors perspectives of the worth of education, and discuss the benefit of the college degree ___ __________ in different five articles. For instance, the benefit of the college degree for individuals health, income, social life, and careers. The college degree effect the personal health in many ways. Its right that having a bad study attitude may harm the students health. For example, a lot of students study late at night, which make them ineffective in their classes. On the other hand, having a college degree have a lot of benefits that will help the students health. According to Larry Singell, who is dean of the College of Arts and Science in the article is a College Degree Worth the Cost? College graduates are less likely to be

smokers, less likely to be overweight, and more likely to exercise, so their healthcare costs are lower. (Lilly, 2011, p11). This quote shows the importance of ___ college degree, and how it improves the personals health. Moreover, ___ college degree can help the world of having wars by knowing different languages. According to Jamsheed Choksy who is a dean of the college of arts and sciences, in the article Is a College Degree Worth the Cost? Think about this- higher education helps us have more people who speak foreign language. Some of these people may be able to negotiate an agreement that will increase trade or prevent a war. (Lilly, 2011. P3). So, we can avoiding the wars and protect the individuals health by education. Also, we can save the money cost on a war in the healthcare. The college degree is also effect the personal income and it lead to affect the finance of the family, then society. There are those who say that college degree is not important as we think, because there are people who dropped out of school, and now they are famous and rich. According to Alex Williams who works at The New York Times in his article Saying No to College Bill Gates dropped out of college. So did Michael Dell, so did Mr. Zuckerberg, who made the Forbes billionaires list at 23. (2012. P3). This quote shows the most famous richer people in the world, and they dropped out of college. So, it argues that the college degree is not worth it. However, college degree helps in having some skills that help in rise the individuals income more than the typical high school. There is a statistic from Pew Research Center in the article Is College Worth It? Estimate that the typical college graduate income per year is 1,420,000, and the typical high school graduate per year is 770,000. This statistic shows us the gap in the income between college graduate and high school graduate, and the difference is almost the double. So, of course without a doubt, college is worth it.

The college degree also helps in the individuals social life, and the way the students think. 15% of the jobs today were not exit before, so it is hard for students to prepare themselves for something is not existing yet. Because of that, students need to improve the way they think. According to Larry Singell in the article Is a College Degree Worth the Cost? Its impossible to prepare for those types of jobs by going and getting a trade. What you need to do is to learn how to think logically, communicate, clearly, act creatively, and think ethically. (Lilly, 2011. P2) The main idea of this quote is to show the importance of the logically thinking, and it is not enough to open your own business and trade with it, but to get good education and get the college degree to have a good job even if you were not prepared for it. Furthermore, college degree gives the students more rights than the one without the college degree. According to Larry Singell in Is a College Degree Worth the Cost article College graduates are also more likely to vote and volunteer. Also, Singell quoted Jefferson in the same article When people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government (Lilly, 2011. P3). These two quotes are obviously agree that having higher education gives the person more rights than the one with less education as a citizens. College degree can helps in the individual career.
