With the rising cost of college tuition, and lowering number of jobs available, more and more teenagers are coming out of high school in debit. The average college tuition in about 30,000 dollars a year, this is not including living expenses. The average college graduate has about $20,000 in loans by the time they graduate their course of study. Do you really think this is helping put our next generation into action? It is becoming harder and harder to find a job in today’s society. Even flower shop owners are looking for people with an associate’s degree, McDonalds now has standards on who can make your burger. With the job availability decreasing more and more people are debit and it is killing our society. The more people that are in debit the more money that the government is giving them, such as Food Stamps, and unemployment. So why am I talking about this stuff? Because it has to change before our economy and become something worth bragging about again. The more money the government is handing out to its people to more the country is going into debit and we most start off our young in the right direction if we want them to live prospers lives.

                You are almost literally born into debit these days, or at least your parents will be once they pay the hospital bills. No one has money yet the prices of things go up, seems smart right? Wrong! People are too worried about not getting a bang for their buck that they raise prices when they should be lowering them. The society wants everyone to have an education, yet it is almost impossible to achieve one without owing thousands of dollars by the time you are done. The government gives so many college scholarships to students throughout the United States, but that is now where near the cost and it is just bringing the economy down even more. So what do we do to fix it? Open more jobs! With more jobs available to younger people they can save up more money for college before they get there, also if their parents had better paying jobs or jobs at all, their parents could have some money saved up for their children’s educations so the government doesn’t have to pay for it all. Yes, I do believe that hard working smart children should get rewarded for their hard work during high school, however giving them 20,000 dollars a year isn’t the way to go.
