Trying Times
By:Patricia Smith

In the article " Trying times " By: Patricia Smith is mostly about how high unemployment and increasing college debt is making it harder for young people to start their careers. Its talks about the loans, and how its a big deal for those just entering the work force.

The article includes the percentage of students who couldn't find any work forces In the passage it stated "Almost 12 percent of Americans under 25 are unemployment. That's substantially higher than the overall unemployment rate of 7.8 percent, and it amounts to nearly 6.5 million young people who are neither in the workforce nor in school." They think that no matter what your gender or race with out a college degree, young people just not getting no job opportunities.

In my honest opinion, I think that being as though all the money spent going to college they should at least make sure every have a good shot at getting job opportunities or workforce that's available to them. I find this very important because I plan on attending college, and I want it to be worth it.

My brother was class of  " 2011"  after he graduated he started college right away. He got accepted to Scranton, he moved there on campus. Everything was going well for the mean while until the money problems started. He had borrowed loans and had to get money from other people. He eventually dropped out because it was becoming a big problem and had no other option he plan on going back.

This article gave me a better view of what to expect when I submit , and attend college. It helped me see that it won't be a piece of cake that its going to come with some struggles. It also let me know now that i should start saving up ALL the money that's possible.

Do you think it's going to be easy?, Do you think you got what it takes?, Do you think it should be more jobs offered?, Do you think the percentage of jobs or workforce not offered is okay?, Do you think college is worth it? Let me know what you think.
