I just watched this documentary and it changed my entire view of college. To be more specific, student loans. Graduating from college with thousands of dollars in debt seems and will be a nightmare to me. It's unfortunate I was born into a "poor" family and that I'm on my own when it comes to paying for college. Not going is definitely not an option, for I need a bachelors to become a fighter pilot in the military. The only thing that's going to get in the way of that is death. I'm not really at a crossroads, but it's actually frightening to think of life for myself in 2020, which is my estimated graduation date. I know the government can't be fixed over night, OK? It seems like the people in charge just don't give a fuck. More attention should paid to those who actually care about their future and want to become something better. There will come a time where the U.S is no longer on top, and one of the reasons will be because of the lack of attention paid to those college students engulfed in debt and without a decent enough paying job to live comfortable. Parents should be concerned for their children's future because the government has simply ceased their interest in bettering our economy. You can preach this employment/unemployment rate bullshit until jesus comes back, but does that really mean anything when those with a job still require government assistance?( When I graduate I'll be enlisting in the Marines, and they don't pay back student loans, so by default, I'll have to out of my own salary. If my calculations are correct, my estimated salary would be around $30,000. I'm uninformed to how the military pay thingamajig works, so excuse me for being so ignorant.) A year at the college I hope to get accepted into (and attend) has a tuition of nearly $30,000. That's fucking insane. I'd love to know where my money will be going. Be advised that I haven't applied for scholarships and haven't received and grants, so the amount I may end up borrowing is still a mystery. I'm just confused as to why there isn't anyone standing up for us post, and soon to be college students who are/will be the victim of this heartless bastard named Debt. The least they could do is make it easier for us to become employed, since it's likely we'll end up on government assistance, but I guess that ties in with us living in a shit economy where the poor stay poor and the rich get richer, often at the expense of the poor. I actually thought this guy Obama would change shit and make it easier for everyone in the country to live, but I guess I was misled. I'm not sure how I'll get through this, but I'm eager to find out how it'll all end. Hopefully we're all around when it's over and I can share my experience with you all.
