"Math and Reading Help." The Importance of High School. 2003 - 2010. Web. 4 Mar 2010.

It explains how important a high school diploma is, and how it will affect your life if you do or do not have it. Like job - wise, it is " a gateway to post - secondary education, better employment and a successful college experience. It gives evidence giving a percentage of number of jobs that require a type of education. ( 60 %!!)

Shows how society makes makes education seem the most neccessary "step" to a successful life or job. But when in reality there are many people in jobs they like and did not require full college affect. Then again there those who are not. so how do we make the decision of deciding if education is reall neccessary for a job or a "good" job?

Kolowich, Steve. "Tuition-free, online education? Try University of the People." (2/22/2010): 1. Web. 4 Mar 2010. .

Talks about how easy it is to attend college, that it acessible to any one with a internet connection. They ask questions like " How do you build quality programs without charging tuition? How effective would the project's peer-to-peer pedagogical model be in classrooms of students from vastly different cultural and educational traditions? Who would accredit such an operation at a time when the perceived value — even necessity — of a postsecondary education is ascendant in virtually every country?" In the end this way to get an education without leaving home but question is does it work?

Shows how society will do anything that is possible to get our generation and coming generation to follow the norm of society; must attend college to have the "good life" by using todays technology. Every single teen now own a computer and can access this new way to attend college, without the excuse of not having time for it, too far away, too expensive, etc. This supprts the idea of society trying to make us follow its norms and role of playing the student and getting an education.

"Expanding higher education can boost job chances for early school-leavers too." 18/09/2007. OECD, Web. 4 Mar 2010. .

Gives examples of how everywhere not just the U.S. students are deciding to recieve higher education (college) because of the reason that jobs are more attainable versus if you don't. just like the first article it gives percentages of how number people getting the jobs are those who choose to go to college.
