Okay so I have an english paper where you have to chose sides.
The topic is "Are actors and pro-athletes overpaid?"
I chose to say that they are not.
My question is is this a suitable thesis statement?
"Pro-Athletes and actors are not overpaid because they earn what they make."

I think your thesis statement should be less vague. You should of course have it in the form of a sentence but it should be a direct statement. Meaning, you should have a clear statement of why you think they earn what they make. Saying they earn what they make, is just saying, they work, they get paid, end of story. Is their talent worth the pay? Do you think the content of the entertainment they provide is worth the money they make. Questions like that could be answered with your statement.  Am I making sense?
