In this exercise I am responding to a guy named Dave who is a fictional character who is asking me questions about my topic of this research essay. This exercise will help me understand how much I know about my topic and will give me a good idea of how others will perceive my essay.
Dave: What's the big deal about this anyway?
Me: I feel that music majors not getting jobs is a huge deal in today's society. Many people major in music because it is their passion, it is what they live for. This is why I chose to become a music major. Many people get a degree in music and cannot find jobs. This is very important because there are many people with these degrees not finding jobs in what they majored in while they were in college.
Dave: Are you kidding? I didn't know that. What else did you find out?
Me: I also found out that there are actually jobs in the music industry. I feel that a lot of people do not look hard enough for a job or else are not finding them in their field of interest. This can cause a problem because people who are finding these jobs are not interested in them because it is not what their field of interest was in.
Dave: Did that surprise you?
Me: This actually did not surprise me because I had some knowledge on this topic before I started researching it.
Dave: Okay, this is all very interesting. But based on everything you've learned so far, what's your point?
Me: My point is that many people are not finding jobs which is bringing the unemployment rate up in America. Also, many music majors are living in poverty because they cannot find a job in their field. Another thing is that we as music majors, are being told we are getting worthless degrees when in reality we should be able to find jobs.
