We all grow up chasing a dream of becoming something. Some
of us dream of money, some of us dream of power, and some of us dream of making
a change. No matter what your dreams are, our dreams all shares the same
underlying principle of trying to make yourself a better person as we grow
through life. We are told all through out our lives that the means to achieves
these goals are simple: go to school, go to college, and then once you graduate
you will have a career waiting for you and the only thing left to do is find a
family that you can raise in your house with the white picket fence. Maybe it
was the hardships I went through for this goal of the American dream or maybe I
have hit the age in which I can see the flaws that most overlook (including me)
due to the fact that we are so tunneled vision by the end reward. Whatever the
delusion may be, many young Americans have had the wool pulled from their eyes, as
life after college isn’t exactly playing out how most of us thought it would. There is a few reason why but the main flaws of college are first,
there wasn’t a bunch of jobs waiting for us after the four years of college.
Secondly college isn’t cheap so many kids have to take out students loans or
try to work full time to keep up with the expensive lifestyle. Third, it is
really hard to know what you want to do in life so many students will find
themselves switching majors, tacking on another semester or two until they graduate in to a saturated job market. There are two reasons I wanted to write
this blog post. I wanted to bring light to the flaws of a college life style
and I also want to discuss the next American finical crisis:
Student Loans.
