Prices won’t go down until gov’t stops handing out more and more money for kids to go to school.

It is kind of a chicken and the egg. Prices go up so the gov’t give more money to kids to pay for education. Since the gov’t gave more money the prices go up. Until the gov’t stops giving more money the cycle will continue with prices going up.

As long as schools see their services as so essential that it’s okay to take value from everyone’s money now and shackle the kids to paying off skyrocketing debt later, begging the government is much easier than enticing voluntary customers.

I’m a 31 year old and in school, and it seems like at the very least, the tuition goes up twice a year about $400 each time.

I was hoping schools would see a huge drop in people going and realize that they are charging way too much. By the time both myself and my husband finish school, our loans are going to total over $100,000. Forget being able to help our kids out when the time comes.

Maybe I’ll just take a class every 6 months until I die and then I wont have to pay any of it back.
