You are not owed a higher education.

Yayy! My loans just doubled! If a deal isnt reached loans for many others and mine will also double! This is very upsetting, and hard to even believe! [/FONT][/COLOR]
My Organic 2 professor was ridiculous. A genius really, but absolutely insane. Out of the original 200 or so students, more then 60% dropped and there were only maybe 9 or 10 As. Definitely the hardest I have ever worked for an A in my life.
It's only on new loans......
I know and which i have to take out soon before the next semester.
my organic teacher was from Pakistan, and he was pretty decent. i bothered him incessantly for help, and even leaned on classmates, which i hate to do. i wasn't used to working that hard to understand something. he saw how hard i was working, and gave me a better grade than i probably deserved. at the end of the semester, i breathed a sigh of relief and opted out of semester 2.
the most difficult A i ever earned was graduate level immunology. a couple of us studied almost every night of the semester; taking the occasional break on a Saturday night and right after tests. i don't miss that one.

Do you want the perception of a mobile society, where a man or woman, armed with their hard work and dedication, can improve their lot in life? Allowing the hill to become steeper and steeper because they are expected to do the hard work only ensures that fewer and fewer individuals will be able to accomplish what previous generations could.
People really need to stop thinking higher education is the only way forward.

It is not the only way forward, but when you feel like you haven't got the option, it is a serious barrier-at least, speaking from experience.
They can look for options, and some may exist, but if scores of employers want ____ education, and you cannot even do that, you have just shut out a ton of people.
I am glad I took out loans, but I'm not stupid enough to say that they should keep increasing interest rates, because I want my modest career that badly.
Do you want the perception of a mobile society, where a man or woman, armed with their hard work and dedication, can improve their lot in life? That's part of the American dream, and it is a good one at that. Allowing the hill to become steeper and steeper because they are expected to do the hard work only ensures that fewer and fewer individuals will be able to accomplish what previous generations could. Sooner or later you begin eliminating those who could do that much more by having the expense of post secondary education being too high.
If that were your goal then you should want to make schools harder and college harder to get into and stay in so people would stop screwing around and taking 5 years to graduate to buy another year of suspended adolescence.
What about the paradigm with college making it take 4 years to graduate?
