This automatically creates less dependents on government programs, such as food stamps or unemployment. Most of the time people from low-income households cannot afford college education. Since they do not have a professional degree they are forced to be content with underpaid jobs. With a minimum wage salary, it’s almost impossible to ensure yourself and your family financially. Majority of low income families require government support such as food stamps and monthly benefits.
Since the minimum wage isn’t being raised, inflation has “cut the purchasing power of a minimum-wage worker’s paycheck by twenty percent” (Krugman 6). Inflation is stopping people from moving up in society because it is forcing minimum-wage workers to work multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. People have to live from pay check to pay check in order to pay bills and by enough groceries for the week. For example, Rebecca is working a forty hour work week earning $7.25 an hour. Before taxes she only makes $290.
A senior in college sports has no pay rate, and a rookie in professional sports can earn a multi-million dollar contract. The difference can be a one-year gap. College athletes are not allowed to be paid, but receive a scholarship instead. Many college athletes do not put the scholarships to good use, they often end up with low paying jobs after school, and colleges have lots of money to fund pay for athletes. If there is absolutely no way a college athlete can be paid, there are different solutions such as colleges helping students to focus on education more than playing sports.
Numerous full-time students are graduation at the minimum rate. After they even graduate they can make a decent living for that matter even make more than a student without the college education. Not only will it make taxes go up but the loans they take out are not getting paid for; just digging more in more into a
Many have the desires of going to college but fear the challenges one may face. Whether it being the fear of not exceling like they would want, failing or simply not being able to afford going. Thousands face these circumstances all over the world, but the question lies, does this really stop one from attending college to further their education? College is by far one of many debts one may encounter within a life time. It is expensive but is college worth the price?
So it tuition goes up even more people will not go to college. Athletes should not get paid in college. Being a college athlete pays for most to all of their college. Most athlete in college have a lot of small scholarships
“Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world,” explained Jane Addams (“Jane Addams”). Jane Addams never gave up in her efforts to truly change the world. She was a powerful woman during a time when women in power was not accepted. She was a true activist for the cause of women’s rights and the reform of what is “acceptable” in America. Jane Addams once said: “I do not believe that women are better than men.
It’s a risk to take. Is the tuition worth the job? Families of first-generation students sometimes discourage them from going to college because college is not worth the money and time. This can lead to discouragement and alienation from family support. It makes the first generation college student question whether college is the right choice for them or
In the centuries the cost of college has gone up and the price of education and counseling has gone down, with job security putting the nail in the coffin. More kids are prone to drop out of college due to the cost, but still have a good job. For people who come from a rich family they would never have to think about dropping out, but for the average Joe college is not an option because of the amount of money it takes and there is no promised guarantee that you will have a job after
According to a professor named Robert B. Rich “$10.10 isn’t enough to lift all workers and their families out of poverty. Most low-wage workers aren’t young teenagers; they’re major breadwinners for their families, and many are women. And they and their families need a higher minimum wage.” Robert is saying that the minimum wage should be increased because for most people in a family that earns all of the money to support their family will need to get out of poverty. Therefore raising the minimum wage would be benefit.
Political advertisement has been around almost as long as we have been holding elections, and although we hope to find honesty in commercials and other forms of advertisement, often times we are met with logical fallacies, and advertising appeals. This election year is no exception. Both republican and democratic parties have released countless commercials in attempts to win the favor and votes of the American public. Hillary Clinton is no exception, her campaign has released countless commercials thus far. In one of her latest commercials, Clinton and her campaign managers employ the skillful use of ethos, bandwagon appeal, and the hasty generalization fallacy in an attempt to win over the votes of African American and Hispanic voters during this primary.
