What will the economic crisis bring for the future costs of education?
Just recently the college board has decided that both public and private college costs are rising. These rising costs have already stripped financial ad for student leaving them going in the hole with deeper debts to pay back. Now they want to jack prices up on us too! With finacial ad already looking slim and now prices going up students are responsible for more net costs than ever before. Over the last decade costs for both public and private schools has nearly doubled. I think that with these prices rising and whats left of financial ad also dropping down i think some potential students are going to pull the reigns on their college education. I believe that this will turn several students onto trade work and other students onto jobs that require a high school diploma or GED. Students now are alreadt working as much as they can along with a full course load and alot of us are barely hacking it each month. Rising costs could potentially turn students out of high school onto joining the work force as appose to furthering their education. Time will tell and we'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for our future students.
