What's Your Kid Getting From College?

 What’s Your Kid Getting From College?

In this article this woman states,” I am a college graduate. I am also unemployed. I was lead[sic] to believe that college would insure me a job. I now have $40,000 worth of student debt.”  This is true. People go to college to get a job, a job to live off of for the rest of the working lives. It’s hard to get a job with just a high school diploma and now its even hard to get one with just a basic college diploma, not even talking about the bachelor or master degree you could be getting.  Every parent wants there kid to go to college, they may even save money since they were little just for this two to maybe eight year experience. Yet these kids going to college aren’t guaranteed a job, but they are guaranteed student debts unless there parents or they them self are filthy rich, but how often does that actually happen. College is starting to become a requirement to get a job, but yet, not guaranteed a job but guaranteed debts along the way. In my case alone, because it’s cheaper to go to a tech school instead of a 4 year school to get my basic classes I’m probably just going to go to a tech school to get my basic classes and then transfer to a 4 year school. At the time of going to the tech school I’ll be working to get money so I don’t need to get loans ect. Just to pay for college.
