I feel our government is not doing what they could be or should be doing to help our economy get the boost it needs. If more people were able to afford to go or get help from the government to be able to attend college or a trade school they would be able to get a career and help out the economy in the long haul. There are so many people who long for the chance to receive an education, to make a better life for ourselves and families. Yet, we have limited resources to find help or even receive help. Stated in College Inc. in a blog titled “Hispanics are crucial to college completion goals” it says that the American economy will not prosper unless we do, speaking for the minority.
Like the many other minorities I was the first in my family to be able to go and complete college, and along with that came expenses and worries of how to pay for them. Although I was able to find some help, most students don’t know what resources are available to them, and we don’t do a good job of telling them where they can go for help. Obama wants us to be the leader as a nation with the most percentage of people with a degree but how can we do that when we are limited to funds and resources available?
I agree on what your saying, the government needs to have more control in the expenses we are dealing with just to get a higher education. I am in the same boat as you, being the first to graduate college in my family. It's pressure and with expenses getting in the way it makes it a little more hard to even want to continue in college. Why should we pay so much to get an education? Some people get thrown out into the world after completing college and doesn't find a job and has to deal with loans months after getting their desired degree.
