A Full Time College Education is Not Worth It

I cannot deny that four-year college educations do provide higher paying jobs compared to a person with only an associate's degree, but even though the person may make more money it all depends. It depends on the major the person took, it depends on the amount of debt they will be in, it depends on the college they went too, it depends if there are even jobs available for them after graduation. I say this because yes, all college education does cost money, but some a lot more than others and it is because of this cost and rate of recent unemployment for certain jobs why perhaps the four-year education is currently not worth all its time and effort. While there are grants and scholarships for full time four-year college students to apply for to aid in their debt, that is if they take the time and effort to do so, many cannot forget that even after graduation and debt there also may lie unemployment and underemployment. Seeing in the online website article," The Economic Policy Institute", last updated in April 21, 2016, that, "For young college graduates, the unemployment rate is currently 5.6 percent (compared with 5.5 percent in 2007), and the underemployment rate is 12.6 percent (compared with 9.6 percent in 2007)". Despite how low these rates may be now it cannot be ignored how dramatically the percentage changed from 2007 to 2016 in the underemployment rates and shows that in the due future these rates will only become increase. Through this percent of people who face underemployment and how it will begin to grow over time it can be seen that many people will have their four-year degree but most will never work to their educations actual potential. Lacking in that higher paying job they so longed for and then for those who had not applied for grants and scholarships finding themselves stuck in debt that they cannot escape due to their underemployed job. It is not common, but there are associate's degrees that allow a pay just as high as any bachelor's degree may provide. It is with these certain opportunities that people may take through a shorter college life that they will end up with not only a much smaller debt but also a well paid trade and working job that are currently in the need and are not facing unemployment or underemployment.
A Full Time College Education is Not Worth It

Increasingly in the past couple years, people have seem to forgotten the immense value of a college education, more specifically a four year degree. However a four-year degree(full-time) is more valuable now than ever. In a time of unbelievable competition in the job market, something has to be done to separate the best from the average. A four year degree shows not only knowledge in a specific discipline but also shows that one had the commitment to get the degree over a period of time. In the choice between a person with a four year degree and a lesser education, the person in the four-year degree tends to win due to the credibility of crendtials and knowledge. A four year college degree also gives an immense amount of options, compared to a two year degree which allows trade specialization. A four year degree allows trade speicalization of a two year, but also a lot more options that the other may not have available. A lot of the best paying workers start with a four year degree. In a dynamic world having options is invaluable and if you want real options of four year degree is the way to go. A full time education/ a four year degree often causes debt but so does any college education, however schooling for any comfortable life style costs money. The existence of grants and scholarships help offset much of this cost. Studies show that a full time student make more money faster than a part time student. According to Erica Loop who published an article called, "What Benefits Are There for Being a Full-Time College Student Over a Part-Time Student?" states that "A full-time student is more likely to receive the full amount of the grant than a part-time student is". It is more common for people with 4 year degrees make substaneously more than those with a Associates so people with a higher education degree have more of a capability to pay it off. Also some student may be discourage by the amount of time in order to be successful and loose focus.

Due to recent events in our debates I have come to see that even though nationwide high schools now encourage students to strive for four-year universities and colleges I have come to ask myself if those four long years are really worth it? For many, a four-year college is an impossible option and other times for those who do strive for their education find themselves lost of what to now do with their acquired education. Seeing on the Debt.org website, an organization dedicated to aiding in college grads debt, that "...college graduates are left with a diploma and an enormous financial burden of credit card and student loan debt " and maybe no job in sight". Especially focusing not just on these student's debt but also how they may not be able to even find jobs. In order for this economy to flourish we need a stable working class, but if the majority are jobless and in debt our country will plummet. In order to evade such disaster perhaps it should be taken into account that these full college educations are not worth it and instead strive for an Associates that can still provide well paid working jobs for many; trade skill occupations.

It is true that finding a job or position after graduating can be hard but like you said it all depends on the person's work ethics and situation. This may cause people to get a job from six weeks to six months depending on the major and area. Some areas need more jobs than others depending on the community's needs, resources, and stability. Some colleges have programs that make it easier to find positions for specific majors and it also depends on how bad the job seeker truly wants it. No matter what kind of education one accquires, full time or not, a person will have some difficulty finding a job. But it is after the position is obtained by an individual that makes the true difference. One goes to college to obtain a better and comfortable lifestyle by earning a greater salary. Charles Purdy published an article called "10 Job Search Mistakes of New College Grads" by a website called Monster Worldwide Inc, offering career advice and researching the top mistakes most job seekers and grad students make. Some of the mistakes listed on the website were not using the college's career office, not taking the job interview seriously, appearing unprofessional, setting expectations too high, misusing the internet, relying solely on the internet, and not being proactive enough. To elaborate on students and job seekers setting the expectation to high, most of them think of the perfect job instead of their "first job" or actually giving it a fair shot. In this economy, the first job should be about finding a position where one will learn great deals and skills, be super busy, and be surrounded by lots of people in order to get familiar and be more hands on with their career or major. Afterwards, there is always the option of transferring to another location if the first job isn't meeting their expectations. In conclusion, achieving any sort of education may seem challenging but the sole purpose of obtaining an education should motivate one to achieve greater than what they had before, whether it's a high school diploma or associates degree. A full time education may seem stressful but one should keep their eyes on the prize once their journey is completed.

Moving past unemployment, underemployment, and debt I would like to focus on life after a person has graduated a full four year college. Based off your claims I cannot deny that a person with a full college education does make more money than a person who decides to skip college or only work for their associates. Even seeing that unemployment and underemployment may be avoided if a person really strives out of a state such as California where finding jobs is much more difficult. But even though a person may find a job and pay off all their debt how long will it take for a four-year college graduate to finally live a normal life? Based off the online article website, "The Balance", and their article "Making it Between College and Your First Job", last updated March of this year, they state that it takes up to six months for a college graduate to find a job, depending on their field and the current economic conditions. Six months may not seem like a lot of time but compared to an average person without a degree who can find a job in between six weeks, there is a huge gap. Within these six months the graduate will need to not only figure out how to manage their lives but also figure out how else they will support themselves. This last issue many college graduates then face after college are the delays in their life. Facing the fact that compared to a person without a degree and who has already a paying job the graduate will then need extra time to move on with their lives. Finding delays in saving for retirement, delays in buying their homes, and maybe even delays in getting married. A full college education can take a majority of a person's time and while they are busy studying it takes time away from preparing for their life after college. However, because a person with a full college education can afford a home and save for retirement much quicker than a person without, it then all depends on the person. Some people would prefer living their lives out rather than having a college education and if that is their preferred life so be it. Overall, a college education can benefit those who decide to follow that path, but they will face their share of hardships during and after just as a person who doesn't go to college will face their own working difficulties.
A Full Time College Education is Not Worth It

One of your arguments are the factors of underemployment and unemployment rates when in fact it does rely and depend on the major or career. Many jobs today are being replaced by machines therefore people in society and undergraduates need to focus on being a full time student to get a four year education or higher to acquire skills and knowledge that can not be replaced by a machine. Whether a full time education is truly worth the time and money, one person may argue that with loans and being in debt may seem like a stressful situation, it pays off drastically with time. With a four year education, a loan can be paid off in a couple of years while still having a comfortable lifestyle. For instance, a family practice (doctor) goes to school for a total of twelve year (four years at a university, four years at medical school, and three years at residency) the tuition may seem high but he/she would be making around 325,000 annually so in numbers, it seems worth the time and energy to put force into a full time education, if the loans/debt will not be as a big deal to pay off. The conversation of underemployment and unemployment justifies the fact that the competition between a full time student and part time student is existing but the job or position will most likely go to the more committed student with more experience and education. Without being said, the rates of unemployment and underemployment are higher in California due to it having the highest population in the U.S with more people seeking classes in specific majors and jobs. This is why programs like the Regional Admission Counselors of California (RACC) is composed of college admission professionals who represent colleges and universities outside the state of California. They help students go out of state into universities with the same system and potentially find jobs and positions out in other states where the unemployment is not as high as California. With all this being said, myself as a high school and college student I would be lying if I said money was not a concern for me. However, according to Nerd Wallet, a website helping people save money had Devon Delfino, someone who personally invested in student loans wrote an article on December 16, 2016 called "Advice From 3 People Who Paid off Student Loan Debt" states that small adjustments make a difference into paying off student loans like "tracking your credit score, using the avalanche method, and taking holistic approach to your finances". All in all, this is something that will help students be young responsible adults and the rewards of a full time education will help take them to that next level.
The swearing filter on DDO should be removed

I will argue that there should be no restrictions on what words we can use on DDO. First round is acceptance.Resolution: "The swearing filter on DDO should be removed."I am Pro, airmax1227 is Con. I accept the burden of proof. I don't need to set a ton of rules, because having a list of rules longer than anyone cares to read is silly, and I want this debate to be straightforward.This is my first step towards helping DDO. I think there are lots of problems with this website, and that the swearing filter is one of the first things that needs to go.Voting is simple: Select the winner. You don't even have to write a comment. Let the games begin.
Jonas Brothers Do you like them...First person to accept gets to:)

"Well, this is just a debate of opinons and the people will vote based on their opinons." Debate is not based off opinion, but facts instead. Your opinions should be backed up by facts. People are supposed to vote on who provided the better arguments and brought up the best points that were backed up by facts. "So i respect your opinon...but you should respect mine too." I respect your opinion too, but I did offer things supporting my side of the debate which is part of what debating is about. "When i said that they were on every t-shirt and balloon in NYC, it was an exagerastion. I was just playing around. " Debating is not about providing exaggerations, but rather what I have mentioned before, bringing up points that support your side and back them up with facts, and then refuting points brought up from your opponent and back them up as well. You have yet to refute any points I have made or brought up any valid points backed up. "Okay...so there im done...thank you for debating me." You are very welcome. :)
Jonas Brothers Do you like them...First person to accept gets to:)

The new boy band that has stormed America is the Jonas Brothers. What makes these three boys so special? They look just like the ones in school. They sound like girls and do every publicity thing availible. You can't turn on the TV without seeing their names or pictures. Its annoying. Maybe if their face wasn't on every stupid t-shirt or balloon in NYC then i wouldn't be so angry. I know that it is probably their manager that makes them do it, but they are the artist and they can say no if they want to. Do they have to make public appearences on every Disney Channel show immaginable! I mean now they are in a movie and a short series. I remember when they were first discovered on Radio Disney's 'Incubator'. They were 3 brothers that made music for fun, not for the money or the popularity. Thank You!
Fallout New Vegas is the Best Video game Ever!

To end the radroach debate: "does have Radroaches because I have killed a few." Emphasis on the few. The New Vegas players had anticipated the game, but I bet from the many bugs it had, they would have waited more so it could only have one or two. One bug I have encountered has sent me spiraling through the ground and somehow teleported me back to the entrance, so I am unable to enter the ground near the door I am trying to enter. In Fallout 3, bugs like this never occurred and it was an older game. It should have been the other way around. In the reviews for New Vegas, the players gave it a score .1 more than the press, suggesting that they all had the same thoughts about the games. New Vegas got a score of 8.5 on IGN.com and Fallout 3 got a 9.5. People had said that New Vegas looks like an add-on to Fallout 3 because of the many similarities it shares with the latter. Because of the Fallout games' complexity, it is difficult to name more games. I guarantee you, however, that more games will be created to compete with New Vegas. There are more popular games out there. When you hear people talking about video games, few have spoken of New Vegas itself, thus concluding its score. The enemies in New Vegas may have more variety, but they still hold the same image as Fallout 3. As seen from the other Fallout games, there are many of the same and more types of deathclaws listed such as the hairy, experimental, and mother deathclaw. (There are no legendary deathclaws, there is only one, and it is the strongest enemy in the game). The many varieties are not only in New Vegas. As for the many types of new enemies, Van Buren, the canceled version of Fallout 3, had many more enemies such as the varieties of ghouls, giant leech, electro-beetle, panther, and many more. Van Buren came before even Fallout 3, and has more creative ideas than New Vegas itself. In Fallout 3, there is a weapon called the alien blaster that is located near a crashed UFO. You can easily obtain it, and have a rare and powerful weapon at hand. In New Vegas, however, you have to get the trait wild wasteland to obtain this weapon, and unknowing players will not get this trait. Weapons also missed include the Abilene Kid LE BB gun and the holy frag grenade. As for the realism of New Vegas, there is a creature called the Nightstalker or known before as a Reptile Dog. It is a creature spliced with coyote and rattlesnake DNA. How is it that this idea was created? Because they would be formidable foes? This is not a realistic idea, and how they are created is unknown. In Fallout 3, there are creatures called fire ants. True to name, these creatures breath fire. Dr. Lesko created their fire breathing ability when they he tried to change them to their former size but messed up their genetic code. Their creation is both creative and scientifically interesting due to the idea. The name is also comical, in a way.
Fallout New Vegas is the Best Video game Ever!

When you say that it hadn't fixed many of its bugs, it is not an add-on. You can't fix add-ons to a game that happened before. Even though it indeed does have bugs, all games have bugs. The more complicated and complex a game is, the more bugs it has. Fallout 3 had much longer time to be made than New Vegas did. Due to the anticipatement of New Vegas it had to come out soon. Some bugs can only happen to some people and not be seen by others. There were probably a lot more bugs than you know about and updates fix many of the bugs that are reported. On the contrary, Fallout New Vegas does have Radroaches because I have indeed killed a few. Maybe you should play the game some more and look around and maybe you'll actually find some. Even though this is a Wikia, here is proof that there are Radroaches in Fallout New Vegas. http://fallout.wikia.com... If you look under Appearances you will see that they are indeed in New Vegas according to my witness account and this proof on a website. If it has no chance against any other games, why don't you name some others instead of the same predecessor of that game. The pups and calves give more of a realistic taste to the game. The game is pretty much saying that animals in Fallout can interbreed which they did not in Fallout 3. The more realistic a game is, the more people will like and relate to it. A game keeps many of the same creatures so that it won't be an entirely new game to someone who likes those creatures and want more of them and a greater variety of them. For example there were normal Deathclaws in Fallout 3 and no other kinds, in New Vegas, however, there are Baby Deathclaws, Deathclaws Alphas, Blind Deathclaws, and Legendary Deathclaws. These varieties give the player more of a challenge instead of the same, old, easy enemies from the previous game.
Fallout New Vegas is the Best Video game Ever!

Although New Vegas is in fact "new" and impressive, it still matches no chance against the other video games of the world. For example, its former game, Fallout 3, is actually much better than New Vegas will ever be. When 3 came out, people saw how almost majestic its graphics were and the story was both creative and exciting. Compared to the Fallout games of the old, it was brilliant. People played it for years, even after New Vegas came out. Many had been excited about New Vegas due to 3's popularity, and flocked to video game stores to buy it from the shelves. However, they were met with disappointment. The graphics were the same as 3, and the game had not accomplished fixing its many bugs. The bugs in Fallout 3 were understandable, being such a new and complex game, but there was no excuse for New Vegas. New Vegas also had many of the same enemies as 3, such as the deathclaw, mole rat, and Brahmin among others. New versions were now called pups and calves, and thus was not very creative. One strange concept, which would have been agreeable if they were in this game, was the lack of radroaches. Simply, there were none. They were replaced by giant mantises, which is strange because the mantis in real life is endangered. Cockroaches of pre-war times have been proved to survive a nuclear apocalypse, and there were surprisingly none. Some areas such as the Strip, which avoided the bombs, are agreeable, but places like Boulder City are not. Whether it was because the radroaches in Fallout: Tactics were much different or the creators simply wished not to include this insect is unknown. New Vegas is both not creative and bland in its new features and methods.
Fallout New Vegas is the Best Video game Ever!

Fallout New Vegas is an open play game with large places, many quests, and fun activities. You can gamble, fight enemies with weapons, special abilities, or physically, travel to wide open lands, do many quests, and many different varieties of guns. What makes this the best game is that is is unlike any other game you can fight creatures that no other video game has ever thought of, distinct weapons that annihilate other enemies, and distinct speeches. No other Video game can complete with the wide variety of things you can do in this game.
