University Students Need Jobs To Pay For Rising Costs
The price of getting a college degree may be quickly getting so high that it could be worth contemplating not going at all. Students now days are graduating with debt anywhere from $10,000 all the way past $100,000 and at these amounts, it might be impossible to pay back.
University used to be the place you went to advance your education, figure out what you want to do with your life, and have some fun when you were doing it. In this day and age though, school might be more of a tedium than it is fun and most students want jobs just to get by. The economy is so awful right now that students hoping to attend college are in a bind trying to figure out how to pay for it.
The Obama student loan reform bill was just signed and the hope is that it will lower the interest rates that are charged and make the loans easier to repay. However, the bill won’t take effect until 2014 and what does the government do anyway that is ever successful?
With the government taking over student loans, it means banks and all the private institutions are no longer involved in the decision making process. Isn’t anyone worried that the government is not the right entity to decide who gets loans and who doesn’t? Do we really need more government control of our lives?
Kids today are under tremendous pressure to do well in school while at the same time holding down a job just to pay for it. It used to be that many parents were able to pay for at least a large chunk of their children’s college expenses but now that might not be the case anymore. Costs just add up too fast and more students than ever are graduating deep in debt.
President Obama has not attempted to try to decrease the price of attending college or at least prevent costs from escalating. State schools at the moment are very costly just as private ones are as a result of the state governments needing the cash. There may be no viable option for college kids who cannot afford the excessive prices and may not be capable of getting a job either.
