The article I read on college and how it's affected by the economy has me slightly worried. The recession we're in currently has had a horrible affect on college's funding but also, the rate of enrollment and acceptance has gone way up. With cutbacks and more kids to educate things are going downhill. In California, they want less freshmen to be accepted into their state colleges.
The article also talks about the debt that comes with college, which can be upwards of 20 thousand dollars. Is the college education worth it, they ask. They found that the median salary a college graduate makes is about $47,000 a year. A college student that doesn't complete a full four years still makes about $33,000. Unfortunately college tuition is on the rise along with rates of enrollment, and budget cuts.

This is just crazy in which colleges are raising their tuition prices while at same time; there are less and less help for students who are struggling to pay the tuition.
