But, as Gatsby found out, love is like being on a battlefield and you have to fight for the person you love. Gatsby was madly in love with Daisy but when he went off to war she moved on. He didn’t necessarily get her back, but she did have an affair with him which lead him to believe he was getting his true love back. True happiness is one idea that can only be defined by each individual. Nobody really knows what true happiness is, but as long as each person is happy with themselves and their situation then they may have true happiness.
Well Caroline Bird, a researcher and a professor, argues this point of college. In Caroline Bird’s “Where College Fails Us,” the central point is how college is not always the best choice after graduating high school. How Caroline Bird supports her central point in this text is the affordability, the lack of success in finding that job in the major you studied in, it might not be in the best interest for the person to go into college straight away, and how college is not right for the student and can make them depressed or sad. In Caroline Bird’s first supporting point she claims that college is expensive and the affordability is hard for some people that want to go. Bird says “The bill for four years at an Ivy League college is currently climbing toward $25,000; at a state university, a degree will cost the student and his family about $10,000(Pg.
Is College Worth it? With rising costs of college, a college education becomes a gamble rather than an investment. Although it works out well for millions of Americans, many college graduates have found themselves unable to get a quality job in their field in this economy with inescapable debt to their school. Purchasing an education to make more money only to end up owing money may not be the best solution. Despite the benefits of a college education, such as a better starting pay in entry level jobs and some better opportunities to find world, these benefits are only individual and do not outweigh the price it takes to achieve them.
Gatsby loved only one thing in this world, Daisy. He would do, and did almost anything humanly possible to get her to stand by his side. He worked very hard since the day he met her, trying to build up enough social reputation and money to win Daisy back. He built up enough money to move, then he bought a very nice mansion across the bay from her, throwing parties every weekend hoping Daisy would come to one of them. He spent a lot of hard earned money throwing these parties and trying to make them the best he could so daisy would like him more.
Although they may have the motivation and willingness to work hard, students often need practical help (161). Unfortunately, in this fast-paced society, there are consequences to dropping out of college (164). Leonhardt mentions how there are limited pay raises for those without college degrees (160). Also, not everyone has the opportunity to acquire a job that is usually only given to college graduates. Although non-graduates may live satisfying lives, many worry how long their prosperity will last (164).
Daisy is then forced in the middle, to choose who she loves. Daisy ends up choosing Tom and Gatsby is left feeling hurt because he misjudged Daisy’s feelings for him. People may evaluate others on how much they notice they show affection towards something or someone. It may be on how much or how little love they show. In the book, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, the love of an ambulance driver for a nurse during World War I seems strange.
Without a college education one cannot reach their full potential thus making them unable to achieve their highest and most sought after dreams and goals. One of the main reasons to continue your education and get a college degree is that it opens many doors of opportunity and allows us to obtain a better career. It is hard to find a decent job that will pay you a decent salary with only a high school education. Although a college education does not guarantee success it does give a little bit of an edge over a high school graduate applying for the same position. You have more choices in careers with a college degree thus giving you more choices in life.

The money might be available for that individual to go to college through scholarships and grants, but the family would suffer without the income that man could bring into the home. Also, lower income areas are not provided with the best education. They have a higher incidence of high school drop outs and teen pregnancy. When the educators have given up on the kids, they give up on themselves. As for the graduation rate, while I found a study that stated that approximately 9 out of 10
