People who go to college now pay to go there and if they fail a class they just wasted a lot of money. If the government paid for everyone’s education then no one would think they would have to work hard and they would think they would have to work hard and they would end up failing once they moved in to there career.

So, how could someone pay for it? Scholarships are becoming increasingly harder to receive because more people require them to get into the school of their choice.

Military Denied Access to Teens Some schools believe that the military should not target teens in high school because they are too young and that they should try to go to college first. They say the military life is not well suited for young teens still in high school or fresh out of school. “Recruiters are targeting certain teens” (Ayers 87.8). The schools that military recruiters do have full access to teens are “offering higher bonuses and shortened tours of duty,” just so the teen can think about the military. (Ayers 87.8) Wealthy Kids Don’t Enlist The reason wealthy kids do not enlist is that they can afford to go to college and not have to worry about the military paying for it.
You know, all the classy gentlemen go to college, or at least that’s what tradition says. College or university might be the mainstream and what`s becoming the normal thing to do, and with our society’s view right now, anyone who doesn’t attend post-secondary education could be seen as a lower class citizen, which isn`t a good thing. The university/college situation right now is set up to be so high pressure for young people leaving high school. But we have to consider that more degrees correlate with higher unemployment rate. Our society undervalues entrepreneurial work, trade skills, and it discourages young people from pursuing this type of education after high school.
Educational Benefits of a College Education In the article, “Is College Worth It,” Richard Vedder argues that college is not worth going for everyone. Explaining that college tuition has increased by double and is often more expensive than what students can afford, Vedder argues that it might be better to choose not going to college for some students. In addition, he states that after graduation from college there are not enough professional jobs. He concludes that students should consider whether college is worth it or not based on their academic levels. Although Vedder’s argument is somewhat convincing because he points out the economic problems of a college education, he neglects educational benefits that students could get from a college education.

The rich kids don't want to actually do well their parents want them to just because they have the money to do it.

One way of overcome this is to do research. Parents who hope to afford college for their children when the time comes around are better off researching options than simply trying to save more money for education. [ (Insider, 2011) ] Having options will make it better to decide how much you will spend for college. For example, it may be cheaper to go to a community college than a university. Now that the research and financial aid is done you now know how much you have to come out of pocket with.
With more layoffs and job losses, many people are finding that if they have a degree, even if they lose a job, they can find another possibly better job somewhere else.
