Student loans get more expensive

Student loans are just that, loans. They have to be repaid which doesn't take anything from the tax payer. If America wants to compete with other countries we need to keep our next generation of employees educated. We do however need to work with industry to shif the focus to programs where there is demand but few employees to fill the need. We also need to keep the brightest and the best in America if we want to continue to be innovators and leaders in industry and science. 

the problem in this country is the tax payer wants something for nothing. Americans want good jobs, safe roads and infastructure. We want to be leaders in industry and commerce. We want to be safe and we want our banks and investments to be safe but we don't want to have to pay for everything. Well guess what, you get what you pay for. If you don't want regulations , then don't cry when someone walks away with y our investments. If you want to be safe, then don't cry when someone breaks into your house and has more firepower than you do and there are no police to respond because you cut their jobs so you wouldn't have to pay higher taxes. Oh and if you can't read this then you probably couldn't find your way to vote in the first place.

All I can say for all these new young Americans is to think carefully before decided to go off to college because of the expenses that will occur at the end. We are leaving in a different world now and we need to take life very serious. New Americans going to college need to check on the industry before investing any money in college institutions, checking out which industry will provide a job after graduation. Students need to check by doing research on industries and not by listening to college counselors with empty promises because all they need is your money.

Our government told us that the population is not educated enough to keep the country going and that we have fall behind other countries education system. We are not behind in education; we are in a very educated country with no industry to work for. We have countless college educated children with college degree who are not able to find jobs, this is the problem. I know children whose parents spent a huge amount of money sending them off to college and study fashion merchandising, business management, interior decorating. This could have been good careers if the economy was booming, on a bad economy, these careers are useless.

Although I have a job but with my masters on computer science I could have got a better job in a good economy but I am doing the same thing I was doing from the first time I started working in IT First level support. I look at it as this is better than nothing but if the economy was on the right track, I could have been on a CEO level. I submitted resume out almost every day but I never hear from any one because too many people are out of a job and companies that are hiring want people with 2 to 5 years experience. So if IT can’t help someone lend a job, then new students need to do research on specific industry before paying college institutions. Their parents need to do some research for them because it can be a lot of work.

New kids can get a full time job after high school and get the company to pay for their school, which was what I did to complete my master. It would be hard but they need to keep trying. Even if they decided to go to college after graduations of high school, they should do it on a local basis instead of leaving on campus because they have to pay both tuitions for college credits and living expenses which is why they bill is $150,000 to $200,000 dollars at the end, also is the amount to purchase a home.

They have the options to go to school online while living with their parents instead of taking on a huge student loan after graduation. Again careful consideration of researching the school for accreditation and industries are very important. Young students need to think and research carefully.
