What to study in college & why? [Career Challenge]

IntroductionIn my last argument, I proposed 7 study fields with 7 examples off of each one. In this round, I will argue why my choices are sound. In addition, I will state two more career options. I will also explain why some of my opponent’s choices are poor. Every individual is different, so don’t let this list limit you. I will state again, check my cited sources from my first argument. Section 1: Defense of Special Education Teacher, Massage Therapist, & Writers1a. Special Education Teachers: My opponent puts too much emphasis on what must be done to become one. He ignores the fact how this would affect you at an emotional level. Individuals, who love to help others grow, would do whatever it takes to do so. Showing compassion to the special needs children is a way to make our world a better place. An individual would be fulfilling a wonderful purpose in life.1b. Massage Therapist: My opponent puts the enjoyment of this career by sheer chance. If an individual loves relieving other’s people stress, they will make sure chance doesn’t decide their faith. Plus, there are a lot of salons and other locations that are suitable places for this career. Along with meeting a lot of nice people and working with great coworkers. May I remind you, one year of education will start you off making well over $50,000 annually!1c. Writers/ Authors: Although this career: This field is risky, and yet flexible. It is comfortable, but only if you have the passion to write. To make this a career, you must be constantly writing. Don’t let my opponent scare you away from your dreams. If you love making up stories, do it. Don’t let anyone say you can’t do something, just embrace your creative side at a high level.Section 2: Defense of Financial Managers, & Police/ Detectives2a. Financial Managers: I state again, my opponent is way too technical in his argument. He leaves no room for the viewer to consider what is optimistic about a field. This field does require hardwork, yet it’s all worth it. It’s worth it because you gain prestige and respect from your colleagues/ coworkers. Plus, you have plenty of room to climb the business latter. You could even become a CEO if you’re that good at your job. Being a financial manager is fun, because you can analyze the profitability of each section of the business. Using pie graphs, charts, and statistics; you begin to show how smart you are to your employers. Finally, the odds of dating that hot secretary just got even better!2b. Police/ Detectives: To wear the uniform of the law is an honorable thing to do. The price of keeping you, your family, and your community safe is by risking your life to protect them. My opponent tries to make it sound like that’s a bad thing. The only bad thing here is to let good people do nothing to stop evil. Our law enforcement will always receive the degree of respect as heroes to society.Section 3: Defense of Aerospace Engineers, & Medical Scientist3a. Aerospace Engineers: To be an engineer will NEVER lock you out of a job! With that said, it is true that aerospace in particular, does provide a strong challenge. However, those that want to be the best shall endure such a challenge. Individuals that are adventurous, strong-willed, and seek to defy the limits will excel in this field. Do not give up a career because it’s too hard, embrace the challenge!3b. Medical Scientists: What if you could be the one who finds the cure for cancer? Or HIV? Or even immortality? The world would definitely try to discourage you into believing it’s highly impractical. DON’T be afraid to say it’s POSSIBLE! Do what you love, experiment as much as you can, & remember people are counting on your work to save them!Section 4: Against opponent’s first 5 careers4a. Elevator Installers & Repairers: To sacrifice creativity for repetitive tasks, that itself is a sin!4b. Brickmasons, Blockmasons, & Stonemasons: You work out there on the construction site in the hot, humid weather. You listen to orders from the architecture, and use your strength to do it. Intelligence should never be substituted for physical strength. Instead of working for the man, be the man! Become an ARCHITECT instead!4c. Sheet Metal Workers: It provides no personal growth like the rest in this section!4d. Plumbers, Pipefitters, & Steamfitters: Humans shouldn’t be machines that only set & repair things. We need growth in a spiritual sense. Don’t do this job for the money, only if you truly love it.4e. Electricians: There’s an even better career then this. I call it ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING!Section 5: Supportive of opponent’s other 4 careers5a. Pharmacist: Well…someone has to give out the medicine.5b. Registered Nurse: It is a very good choice for its high employment rate. It is actually a pretty good choice.5c. Software Developer: In this economy, I have nothing to complain about this field. 5d. Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Midwives, & Nurse Practitioners: I actually don’t have anything bad to say about this.Section 6: 2 additional careers6a. Study Field 8#: Entertainment & Sports ~ ActorsActors are like artists, they paint a picture by their performance. They express emotions suitable for the character. Don’t be discouraged by my opponent. What matters more is the passion rather than reliance on chance. Those that love what they do, will do what they love (& get paid well for it too!). You could potentially reach stardom and make it big! I know you can, but do you know you can?6b. Study Field 9#: Arts & Design~ Industrial DesignersThis career choice is a blend of technical and artsy styles. You’re practically an engineer designing things. You get to manufacture products ranging from toys to as big as airplanes. You also get to work on teams to do innovative projects! Whatever is needed, you get to design it! A bachelor’s degree is required in industrial design, architecture, or engineering. Average Annual Salary: $60,000ConclusionIn the previous round, my opponent attacked me with just requirements. He emphasized stress and argued low job prospects. He also listed careers that are considered blue-collared jobs, along with additional careers that were far better. For his first 5, there is no creativity but pure servitude. My viewers please acknowledge that the value of passion outranks money. My career picks are good, but I know each one of you are different too. This is why I greatly suggested checking my previous cited sources.Consider this, most of my opponents sources branched off one of my sources. I helped him, so I surely can help you. I care more about what you, the viewer, would like to do in the future. Even after this debate is over, please continue your research to discover yourself and your enjoyments. I rest my case.Cited Sources:Last argument will provide additional sources to continue the viewer’s growth! Stick around to see them all!
