This article was very persuasive, it gave a lot of sources and evidence but it was kinda saying that college does not work for everyone. Also that you do not need to go to an elige college to become successful.
As I was reading this article I did not find anything interesting for persuasive. Like it gave fact and stuff but never gave out example. And to me the author is pretty much saying if you do not have money then you can not make it in life which is not true.
“The “oohs” and “aahs” follow as the audience learns that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is an alumna of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College. If even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.”

“The elite colleges are increasingly white and affluent. The least selective four-year colleges and community colleges are increasingly home to disproportionate concentrations of low-income students as well as African-American and Hispanic youth. And less than 5 percent of students at elite colleges come from the bottom quartile of family income.”
To me reading these article got me thinking about college and my future a lot and I started to feel the pressure but then I realize I still got time. Just taking one step at a time. And to the colleges, I want to apply or go to colleges that I like for their environment and majors not by how popular or what other people think of it. It is my decision where I wanna go so I should know what colleges work or not work for me.
