Work



Over the past couple of years, the need for a college degree has increased. College is not the route that everyone goes after high school because it may not be for them but then they are those that do go to college. The pros of obtaining a college degree is mainly focused on money for most people. College graduates earn sixty percent more money than those who do not have a college degree. But college is not for everyone, and most that do not go to college go into the military after high school or go straight into the work force. A degree does not necessarily mean that students have to go to school for four years. Some schools offer a two year program in order to get the degree that they need.
              
There are many pros to having a college degree, such as a higher paying job. The student also is exposed to a lot more opportunities through their years of getting an education. But with pros, there are cons. Having a college degree does not mean that you are going to get a job straight out of college. Many students are left jobless because the degree that they have, is not needed. Many students go into college and focus on a degree that is needed when they enter college but then when they get out, all the jobs are filled.
              The workforce is going to pick up over the next couple of years because so many people are going to college. Just as college degrees were in demand these past couple of years, the need for people in the workforce will arise as well.
            Education should be demanded at a certain extinct. Such as, maybe not forcing students to get a four year degree when the degree can easily be obtained in less time. They should also focus less on main courses such as math, science, English and history and focus more on teaching the students the necessities to do the job that they are going to be doing when they graduate. While those main classes are needed to a certain extinct, I don’t believe that a Math major needs to be required to take four classes of science and history in order to graduate. They should focus mainly on their degree.
               

Storytelling

The movie "Point Break" by director Ericson Core is about a young FBI agent that infiltrates an extraordinary team of extreme sports athletes he suspects of masterminding a string of unprecedented, sophisticated corporate heists.While he battles through many life threatening obstacles such as, surfing, flying, snowboarding, rock climbing and motorcycling, he puts his life at risk in order to capture the criminals. The movie debuted on Christmas in 2015, while it does have an original movie that debuted in 1991. It is a action film.
Johnny Utah had a bad incident seven years before he arrived at the federal bureau of investigation. When he hears about the criminals that stole diamonds from the top of a twenty sotry building and escaping by parachute, in Mumbia, his interest is peaked. He also finds out a similar heist happens in Mexico where the criminals unloaded millions of dollars over Mexico, then disappear into the Cave Of Swallows.. Utah's research concludes that they were done by the same men, who are attempting to complete the Ozaki 8, a list of eight extreme ordeals to honor the forces of nature. They have already completed three, and Utah predicts they'll attempt the fourth on a rare sea wave phenomenon in France. After presenting his analysis, Utah is sent undercover to France under a field agent named Pappas. He ends up surfing in a wave, almost drowning but gets saved by one of the criminals, Bohdi. He still does not know for certain in the guy that saved him is apart of the crimes, so he stays on the boat in order to get more detail. Utah ends up staying with Bohdi and his friends, climbing mountains, flying, snowboarding, etc. until he finally realizes that they are apart of the crimes. By the end of the movie, the FBI steps in catching and killing most of the criminals, except the main one Bohdi.
The movie adheres to the rules of a strong hook because of the opining scene. It starts out as two extreme sport athletes, Johnny Utah and his friend Jeff, as they race down the side of a ridge line on motorbikes. At the end of the ride their is a cliff that leads to a rock. In order to get to the rock you have to jump. While Utah made the jump, landing safely, his friend Jeff did not. Jeff fell to his death and it was not until years later when Utah put his own life in danger by extreme sports again. With this hook, the viewer is left speechless. So of course, when the movie opens with the death of a character, the viewer is going to hooked immediately. The movie has many hooks that capture the viewers attention but the very beginning is the main one.

Where will you go next?

West Coast (California, United States)
Have you ever dreamed of driving along a cliff that over looks the ocean with the windows down and have your hair flying around everywhere? What about driving across the desert just to see miles and miles of almost nothing? There's a place somewhere in North America for every individuals whether it is the coast, desert, mountains, or even a big city. According to USA News: Travel the number one place in the United States to visit is the Grand Canyon, Maui is listed number two, Yellowstone National Park listed at number three, New York city is number six and Aspen at number eighteen (for more information visit http://travel.usnews.com/Rankings/best_usa_vacations/). You also can not give up a chance to see the Northern lights in Canada or kayak down Mexicos rivers to see all the "magical" places, or so the Huffington Post says (for more information visit

There are many ways you can travel, whether that be by a car, plane, bus or a train. Some prefer traveling in a camper across the country (which is probably the more cheaper route), while others may not want to drive all that way and decided to fly then rent a car. No matter how you decide to get there, enjoying the journey is the most important thing!
