Some people might say that this can be avoided if you are given a scholarship but even with that the rate that the price is increasing it will still be at an outrageous price after being given a scholarship. This could force more people into public universities and even discourage people from wanting to go on to a higher education. At a time when most people are trying to find out where they will be in the next couple months price can be a big factor into the decision. This takes away a opportunity to attend a private university that they might like a lot more then the place they end up.

ReplyDeleteI agree. I feel that if college tuition prices continue to increase then the amount of people who decide to go on with their education will decrease. This is a very sad thing regarding the future of America. If less and less people get a higher degree each year that means there will be less people in certain workforces such as teachers, doctors, and lawyers. And this will be the case just because it cost too much to attend school.
ReplyDeleteThis will then later cause another rippling effect on America, it will force people who already have those jobs to not retire and may also cause many companies to shut down due to the lack of the selective workforce they have to choose from. If there becomes a problem where offices and businesses cannot stay open because they do not have enough workers than America has really gone over the edge because as of right now there are too many people looking for jobs and not enough openings for jobs such as teachers and lawyers. But if the cost of a higher level education becomes unobtainable for many people then the roles will begin to switch. I think it is very important for America to fix this tuition crisis now before its too late and there is already a generation ruined.
