- The value has gone down because now a days a college degree doesn’t mean as much as it was before. Not many people get a job right out of college but they have a huge amount of debt because of it. College keeps going up in price because of certain schools and everyone wants to go to top 25 schools or Ivy League colleges. College goes up in price because of many things, demand to go there, price to run the place goes up, and the supply they have. They can determine the financial payoff of their college education by how easy it is to get a job or if you can do multiply jobs with it. They could go straight into the workforce or trade school.

I think that Archer is using inquiry in his college debt essay
- he asked a lot of questions, then answered them in the text
- he wants us to know all the information, so we know the truth
yes he meets all four criteria of responsible reasoning
- I think this because he has all the criteria in his essay.
- he was well informed, self critical, he has his readers in mind, and he knows his arguments contexts.
