The Student Debt Problem Is Worse Than We Imagined
Perspective (anecdote) from a high school student: There is a real push for college. It&#x27;s an unstated assumption that you&#x27;re going to go, and the topic of debt seems to be passively avoided (&quot;Don&#x27;t worry, it&#x27;ll all work out!&quot;). We receive a grade for the college application process, so you can&#x27;t not apply. College is still probably a good deal the majority of the time I think, but I wish there was some acknowledgement that it is less important in some fields than others. As for me, I think I&#x27;ll take a pass on it, for now anyway. There&#x27;s always time to change my mind later on.
