Graduating Class of 2015 Most Debt Burdened in History

2. When I had constant contact with college students

I noted that those who had lots of money, in our part of the world it was from oil, rarely had any stress, they graduated to jobs that paid better than their counterparts who were not connected and had no debt. Sometimes mom and dad even gave them a car for graduation.

Most of my students worked 2 jobs while in school stressed over how to pay lab fees and books and borrowed. They graduated with a watch from Mom and Dad and a load of debt they didn't have clue how to pay. The stress on their faces at graduation was obvious.

Education should be free to anyone who has the ability, the drive and the ambition to get one. It is so much worse than when I got out in the early 70's. I got out with a manageable debt that I paid off in 5 years. Most of the grads in the past 15 years have debt that they won't pay off until they are in their 60's if at all. The stress is stupid.

Those with money have no clue and honestly don't care about their fellow graduates.
