Education is so important and everyone should have the opportuinty to obtain!

Education is getting harder and harder to obtain. Currently I am a student at Sonoma State University and coming from a low middle class family and being first generation with the student debt going up every semester my education is beginning to become so much more difficult to obtain. I wish there was more help with students in need like myself. It does not even come to me as a surprise that student debt is so high. With in the economy we currently live in it is very hard to pay for tuition, book and all of the student needs. Tuition needs to stop going up so much because this is making student not go to school and further their education. Every day more and more student are just going out and looking for job rather than becoming professionals. We must take into consideration that the youth deciding to not further their education will be the future leaders of America and they should be educated! Education is so important and everyone needs to have the opportunity to get educated.

§Never go into debt for education

We all know education is important but it is even more important that you do not go into debt. You are better off working at any low wage job if you cannot pay cash for school, (1) bringing home a paycheck, (2) receiving medical benefits, (3) receiving payments into Social Security, state unemployment and state disability AND (4) having no debt. Half of the college graduates today do not get any job or are underemployed, working at low wage jobs that do not require a college degree. YOU NEVER, EVER WANT TO HAVE DEBT FOR LIFE AND BE UNABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. Most of the jobs that require a college degree also require that you sing the capitalist, company tune. Those that do not, such as medical doctor, require lots of expensive education. We live in a declining society, and it is best to try to live as simply as possible. Hopefully, this capitalist society will collapse soon and be replaced by one with no profit motive, socialism. Then, you will be paid to go to school and will have job opportunities that fit your education. While you are working at any job you can find, you can go to the library each week to obtain books to read; you do not need to go to school to read books.
