Abstract
College, In Your Dreams!
-Making College Financially Attainable-
Krista Capra
Argument: Middle-Low Income families CAN afford a college education if preparation steps are taken promptly and correctly.
Preview: The excitement of going to college and getting a higher education, having independence, and making new friends can be quickly shattered by the thought of how it’s going to be paid for. A good percent of the U.S. population are middle to low income families. Most middle to low income families will argue that college is unaffordable. In today’s economy, college is absolutely necessary and almost the only way to live struggle free financially. What some prospective students and their parents forget to do is apply for the many types of financial aid; this can be done by just doing a little research. If the desire is there, then the will to work towards actually getting into and affording college should be involuntary.
Relevance: Relates to discussions and readings about low-wage working and how it’s more than just a struggle, and almost impractical. College is a way out of low-wage working, but may conflict with financial attainability. College is also a “view of America,” from a societal view of what the norm is, and what the typical jobs of America are. Also, due to progressive change in the economy, it is financially required to graduate from college in order to have a stable middle-class life.
