Analysis Of Some Lessons From The Assembly Line

269 Words2 Pages

The audience is students and factory workers as well as future students and people who are considering working at a factory. A challenge can be recruiting an audience to go pursue a higher education. The audience can resonate with their life they actually live, and see what opportunities they have to create a better life and the importance on how education can change one’s life.

My goal is to emphasize my opinion on the article "Some Lessons From The Assembly Line”. I am looking to pinpoint examples that the author is stating in his article about the differences between his experiences working at a factory to his comparison to college. I agree with the author supporting examples on life in a factory. I feel some of the same ways as he did

"There are few things as cocksure as a college student who has never been out in the real world, and people my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. After a particularly exhausting string of 12-hour days at a plastics factory, I remember being shocked at how small my check seemed" Braaksma (2005).

    Fast food jobs is the classic stereotype for high school students, while field work is the classic stereotype for immigrants. " A Gringo in the Lettuce Fields" written by Gabriel Thomson talks about "doing a job that most Americans won't do" (89).

While both Thomson and Etzioni describe what it is to work in a specific type of environment, Thompson immerses himself in the job and Etzioni argues that working while still in high school should be avoided. Despite their differences in their type of work, these two essays have many similarities.

    The education system produces skills that are not valued by employers, while raising the expectations of those who acquire them. Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
