Your younger brother is a senior in high school and wants no part of attending college. He hates school, he's tired of all the hoops he has had to jump through to get the grades, and he just doesn't see the value of four more years of education
As a sibling concerned about his
vocational identity as well as his future ability to support himself, outline at least three very
important reasons for deciding to attend college that were discussed in the textbook that you
feel will help you make a case for further education.
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary and should include at least three of the following: to learn more
about things that matter to him; for him to be able to get a better job; for him be able
to make more money; for him to get training for a specific career; for him to gain a
general education and appreciation of ideas; to prepare him for graduate or
professional school.
