Essay... reworked it again :)


1.   P1: College graduates make an average of 1 million dollars more in their lifetimes than non-graduates.
2.   P2: One can be successful in helping others, which helps to make the world a better place.
3.   P3: Residence life helps people diversify themselves.
4.   P4: College helps to make people more interesting.

C   C:  College Education is important to a successful life



So this is what I have come up with for my premises and conclusion for my essay. This is the third time I have reworked it and I am still open for suggestions. Anybody have any ideas about this or any suggestions on how to make it better?

  1. It seems like you would have a hard time trying to prove the 4th premise.

    You might want to change 'interesting' to something easier to verify, like 'literate'.

  2. I used interesting somewhat vaguely in my actual essay. I supported it with things like can improve your happiness, remain curious about the world, interesting to other people, doesn’t necessarily make you a more well rounded person, but that is its goal. With these things in mind i think it is more clear what i mean by interesting. Do you agree?

  3. Meh...not really.

    But go with that anyway.

  4. Ya I was thinking the same thing. Interesting is kind of a vague word, especially for something to defend. I feel like it will be difficult to give it enough clarity and support to make it a strong paragraph.
