#Education


Lately, there has been a lot of students dropping out of college. Bill Gates once told students "The U.S. has the highest college dropout rate. We're number one in terms of the number of people who start college but we're like number 20 in terms of the number of people who finish college."




 Why? It’s because of high tuition cost. Education may be offered somewhat free before but College is different. According to FOX Business, there are student loan lender that helps students who don’t have cosigners, more than half of the current college students surveyed said they had to drop out of college after they were unable to find funding. Some students underestimate the college cost and realized too late that they lack the funds to cover it. Others may decide that they would rather be making money working full time rather than having to spend so much time, effort and money for pursuing a degree.

 Being financially unstable resulted to force numerous of students to work more hours and take lesser number of classes which also makes them spend more years than they should have been just to earn their degree. Unsurprisingly, these horrible tuition cost made close to 50% of students to drop out. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Hopefully in the future, education won’t require so much money for us to earn or pursue the degree we want to.
