College On Credit- Response

This article was very disheartening, especially to a student who is beginning to look at colleges. However, I found it to be a very interesting idea that college education might be so heavily affected by this economic downfall. In this time, now is the worst time for college to become inaccessible to those who need it. In a world where a high school diploma hardly holds weight anymore, the idea that the mere cost of college would keep a student out of their hard earned education is terrifying. I've never thought of all the families who are struggling to heat their homes, let alone send a child to college. This country needs well educated college graduates now more than ever. We need a workforce that can be highly specialized and trained. It seems to me that the age of private colleges might have come to an end. As with the public school system, colleges may soon be going the same way.
