RE: Changes to Tax Code Affecting Student Borrowers Is A Distraction From The Real Pernicious Evil
Higher education is essential. I understand that student debt in America is out of control and many postgrads have become disenfranchised because of their inability to find a job and repay these loans. I still see the value in a traditional education, with that being said a lot of it is up to the student to get as much out of the experience as possible. Know thy self. If you do not feel that college is the right fit for you then explore other opportunities.
Absolutely. College still has a role to play, but we need to take a close look at what that role is, and how (and how much) our children should be paying for it.
I also think a lot more parents should be encouraging their kids to go to trade school, rather than liberal arts school, if their kids don't have a clear direction in mind.
