Education and the cost of college is constantly a hot topic in politics. Recently, the college students participated in "Occupy Wallstreet", where they camped out until their protests were met about forgiving student loans. This is just one event that was sparked by the high costs of college education. A main problem our country is currently facing is the fact that it is so expensive to get a college degree, yet many graduates remain jobless when they finish. Government officials have toyed with different policies on how to alleviate this problem, as well as creating standards that hold universities accountable for preparing students for the work force. I think these standards are necessary to ensure all students "get what they pay for" when it comes to a college degree.
I will be attending college in the fall, and cost is a big concern to me and my family. I have been applying for numerous scholarships and I am hopeful that I will get a sufficient amount of money to alleviate some of the financial burden of college expenses. I have also applied to FAFSA, so hopefully all this will be enough for me to pay for my college without having to take out too many student loans.
