Assumption CR

by limestone » Wed Sep 29, 2010 1:46 am
Ms. Evangeline Rose argued that money and time invested in acquiring a professional degree are totally wasted. As evidence supporting her arguement, she offered the case of a man who, at considerable expense of money and time, completed his law degree and then married and lived as a house-husband, taking care of their children and working part time at a day care center so his wife could persue her career.

Ms. Rose makes the unsupported assumption that:

A. an education in the law is useful only in pursuing law-related activities
B. what was not acceptable 25 years ago may very well be acceptable today
C. wealth is more important than learning
D. professional success is a function of the quality of one's education
E. only the study of law can be considered professional study

OA later.

Rose meant its a waste of money for a man who spent a big sum of money to be a law then later become a housekeeper ( lol)
why does she mean that? because she thinks what A said
