To the editor: If an individual remains to be paying again his or her loans into their older years, then they picked the incorrect faculty and the incorrect main. My feeling is that the center class has gotten tricked into believing that if their baby will get into an elite college, then they’ve the keys to the great life. The issue with this perception is that this: Their baby might attend an costly elite faculty however examine in a low-paying main. Thus, their baby’s debt turns into a specter haunting their life for many years.
Except your baby goes to check in a STEM area or another high-paying main, encourage them to decide on a faculty the place their pupil debt gained’t be a curse on their lives even into their golden years.
