Now that entitlement reforms are going to be cut, the threat of garnishing SS is gone to student loan defaulters. With people unable to find jobs, interests going higher, and to choose between a meal and a roof or pay loans, people choose a meal and a roof. Default rates are rising and making it inevitable for the loans and banks to be cut out when government fully funds higher education. If this doesn't happen then high school students drop out with no incentive to go to expensive college.

What does a Science major do?

[Lundun Goth]

I totally have. My teachers sighed with relief that I could actually write, and that they didn't need to review remedial English skills with me. I was a science major, and I had to read countless scientific journals. I also read articles published by professors from other institutions. It's totally the fault of the student. I went to public school and purposely pushed myself beyond imaginable limits, for I knew that the education was sub par.

It's tragic they say. A bachelor degree student in America can't even write a proper paper. They can't even break down & analyze a matter properly. However we shouldn't sell the false importance of education, establish a system where you need a degree to land a good job, yet turn people down for failing because they cant meet the demands of high education. Have you read some professional writing?
