Education

This video is about the ongoing issue of education. We're all told to go to college to get a good job but most of us have to pay our way through college because getting an higher education in our country is not cheap. This video talks about the issue of education and school, education is the key to a bright future. To get the education we must go to school but in the end students just end up being in debt to student loans or college students tend forget what they learned after an exam or a semester. Education is suppose to be about learning but recently education is about going to college to pass certain classes to get a degree that cost thousands and thousands of dollars that might not even guarantee anyone a job that they worked so hard for. This video talks about the importance of education, and how college is losing the importance of education everywhere because of increasing student fee's. In the link below there's an article that talks about a federal law kicked in the year of 2010 that requires all colleges to give reasonable estimates for fees, books, tuition, room&board and personal expenses. This allows students to be able to calculate the expense of their college for the next four years this can give students a better chance at choosing the best college that fits their financial situation.

  1. >a degree that ... might not even guarantee anyone a job
    I personally don't see why a degree should guarantee a job. If I were an employer, I'd subject any potential hires to much more scrutiny than just "do they have a degree in this field". Work ethic, integrity, past achievements in the field, and what their professors/past employers say about them would seem just as important as them meeting the basic competency requirements.

    Also, your link doesn't actually go to the article in question.
