Is a college degree necessary to be successful?

Instructions:

Identify an issue or controversy you feel strongly about. Ideally, it should be something that matters in your life—for example, a controversy over a proposal to eliminate your major at your college, or restrictions on the use of social media for certain kinds of activities on campus. Write an argument in which you take a position on this issue. You will need to use research in your argument. Write your argument in a way that would be appropriate for both an academic audience and a wider audience. For example, if you write about a controversy about eliminating your major at your college, you might intend your argument for readers in an academic field such as education or philosophy as well as for a wider audience interested in educational issues.
