This article is explaining the rising difficulty to get enough money and graduate from college. The inflation and rising prices for college are outpacing the income of families by a staggering percentage. Most people need to work an amazing amount of jobs and hours to get a third of the money they will need. Studies show that working more than twenty five hours a week hurts your test scores. The sad thing is some work fifty hours a week. The article also explains the hardships of specific people and their endeavors to pay their way through college which the article also says is a sort of a bad joke these days. The fifty hours a week I work I mentioned is carried out by a man named Paul Dinehart is barely squeaking through a college considered cheap. Many students in the article talk of dropping out and resuming some other time due to lack of funds. The article also explains how so many students need to pull out loans and are getting crushed by the dept. tuition in most all colleges has more than doubled in a short time. It emphasizes in particular the public options which traditionally were the more affordable option.
So many new students to these colleges have to work their way through college due to the rising prices. Small loans family help and a small job are nowhere near producing the dollars to pay for college prices that have boarded a small space craft and are soaring upward. With three jobs stacked along with family help the prices for college still go way above the students’ ability.
Financial aid has moved away from giving need-based grants down the path to student loans. Financial aid is falling behind the tuition prices as well rising at a slower pace than that of the tuition price.
The dropout rate is high due to the rising prices but tuition isn’t the only issue from personal accounts and family the price for supplies especially books. Amending dropout rates is a matter of helping the economy.
For UCF the school my dad went to recently for his masters in criminal justice costs $1’405 for five hours a credit course for my luckily being a Florida resident for non Florida residents its triple that.
I plan to pay for my college with military scholarships and other scholarships along with the multiple college funds saved up for me.
My opinion is if tuition prices don’t get fixed our education will continue on the downscale with our world competition.
Conclusion is that too many people don’t have enough money to pay for this and that the inflation is killing us along with not enough income to pay for anything.
