Changes - Taylor Stewart

I've been hearing quite a lot of chitchat lately concerning the rise in college tuition. I don't think this is a problem, however. Apparently, if prices keep rising at the current rate, students who don't receive any grants will most likely pay more than $115,000 to reach graduation day. To me, this figure seems not only normal, but exceptionally low. For the quality of one’s education and the chance to say that one has received a special degree in something, is priceless; whether you are in debt for the rest of your life or not. One million dollars should be the average price people are willing to pay to guarantee that their future will be set and that they will get jobs that make that much money. It is absolutely false that you can get a degree anywhere and it will mean the same thing. Any person with brains enough to go to college knows that the colleges with the highest tuition are the best ones. The people who say that the name of the school isn’t everything are absolutely right; the tuition is. It is incredible that some colleges and junior colleges boast that you can receive certain degrees or you can be able to transfer, because this cannot be true. Everyone knows that degrees can only be obtained at schools with a tuition that is over $30, 000. More prospective college students should be charged the price of a small house every year, so that by the end of their extremely satisfying college education they pay debts for the rest of their lives.
College is not supposed to be some great opportunity to make money, it is an opportunity to spend money, even what you do not have. The beauty of getting loans is that even when you do not have money, you can pretend that you do. Don't forget interest! Having severe debt is a great way to learn how to be financially responsible. The tuition prices of school not only should be high, but need to be high. It is very important that these educational institutes continue to spark the economy. After students sell everything from their kitchen sinks to their kidneys, they will need to pay back their debts and if that cannot happen, they will continue to remain in debt. It is so great for the economy because the country's wealthiest universities are raising tuition faster than the rate of inflation. This can only mean good news for an economy that some have claimed to be in a recession - obviously, raising college tuition is the way to solve economic crisis. It may be safe to say that those so-called “educational institutions” should not even be called accredited universities if tuition is less than $30 or maybe $40 thousand dollars a year. As the future approaches after the end of college, it only makes sense to have hundreds of thousands of dollars of loans to pay. There are absolutely no other institutions that deserve that amount of money more than those colleges. Universities, especially the most expensive ones, are the institutions that deserve all that money. Some others may argue that such absurdities as hospitals or charities deserve insane amounts of money, but what better institute is one that provides a safe space for newly twenty-one year-olds to just hang out and receive the best education?
