Sharpening Your Point

In this blog assignment I was asked to make a thesis statement using a template.  I will accomplish this by using the information I have learned while researching my topic which is, why do people who major in fine arts in college have trouble finding jobs in their field of study?

My thesis statement that I have come up with so far while using this template is:

Based on my research for this specific topic, the evidence strongly suggests that music majors finding jobs is better and more likely than them not finding jobs.  This is because there are many different fields of study and many different directions that a person can go with their talents and gifts.

In this thesis statement I am providing a background for my research paper and also giving some information that I will be able to explain during the course of my paper.

  1. I'm sure you were encouraged to find that your degree will indeed lead you to a job...and perhaps more easily than you assumed!

    I'd like to see you continue to refine the wording and structure of your thesis. For example, how could you combine your two sentences here into one succinct thesis statement? How can you replace more general phrases like "this specific" topic with more precise wording (like actually naming the topic)? Can you name a specific number of fields and directions?

    I look forward to seeing your thesis further developed.
