It is astounding to see how much the cost of education has increased. This Is a disturbing trend, considering that you aren’t guaranteed a good job after you graduate. If you take out student loans and are not able to pay them, they aren’t rven erased if you go bankrupt.
In today’s world, it is no longer a foregone conclusion that everyone is supposed to automatically go to college as a life goal. We live in an era of technology where so much of the world’s knowledge is online – and even in many cases for free.
