"Where the Jobs Are: STEM Fields" by Linda Rosen is informative because the author provided statistical information that really made you more aware and have a better understanding of job employment data. For example, "The demand for STEM skills extends well beyond STEM-specific jobs, and the number of jobs requiring a STEM background is expected to have grown 17 percent between 2008 and 2018, far faster than the 10 percent growth projected for overall employment." Also, it may help students who are stuck on what degree to pursue. They may want to major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics because, like Rosen said, "Even in a tough economy, STEM is where the jobs are." Linda Rosen's main argument is that if you pursue a career in a field of science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics you will have a better chance of actually being employed after receiving your degree rather than unemployed, versus those with a degree in any other field. I have had some doubts once in a blue moon about switching my major, but this article has been another pro on my mental pro-con chart on why I should continue to work for an associate's degree in science for nursing. I probably will use some of this information in my essay since my desired major is in science. "Many With New College Degree Find the Job Market Humbling" was rather startling. People push through college expecting to get a job right after they graduate, but in reality, that does not happen one hundred percent of the time. Also, it states how the employment rates have fallen along with teh salaries. For example, "Employment rates for new college graduates have fallen sharply in the last two years, as have starting salaries for those who can find work." I do not know anyone who wouldn't want to get a job that involves their degree and make a sufficient amount of money right out of college. It's disturbing to think that all the years of hard work and money that people dedicate may not pay off. Catherine Rampell's main argument would be that not everyone is guarenteed the job that they crave, but it is possible. I can relate to this article in a way because I have been told that every hospital can always use a registered nurse. Basically someone told me that I am a shoe-in for a job at a hospital, but as i have learned, nobody in any field is guarenteed anything. You may work incredbly hard to acheive that degree, but you have to work even harder after you receive it to continue to pursue ad make it your career. I don't think I will be using any information from this article in my essay. PART 2: When composing a proper

You want to build your argument and approach it nicely so that when you insert a quote, it is not like you just threw it in there with no significance. It is also important to carefully think about how you integrate quoted material into your essay because you should want it to flow nicely and you should want the the information to be valid and have an importance within your writing.
