The combination of rising tuition and a lack of long-term planning by parents leaves many students from working class families out of the college picture. Some say they will do whatever to get to college, but that often means they leave school with a huge debt burden.

  • How about this: find a job, save your money as best you can, go to community college for any remedial courses or those that would satisfy your general ed requirements, and DONT SPEND MONEY!!!! Work for as long as you can if you can find a job. And if you can't, then postpone college until you have enough money to at least not borrow the full amount to attend. STOP PLAYING THEIR GAME DAMN IT!!!!

  • @enter19 Why is it so hard to believe she is tri-lingual? Her parents are from Africa (as the speaker says). Her parents likely speak several native African languages (which she learned at home). Knowing those languages in addition to Engilsh would make her tri-lingual. Its really simple.

    As the saying goes:

    If you speak 3 languages you are tri-lingual

    If you speak 2 languages you are bi-lingual

    If you speak one language you are an American

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

  • she speaks 3 languages? hah that's funny and hard to believe

  • College teaches people how to be employees.

  • Community colleges are good. The most important thing is to get a degree that is technical in nature and hard to out source.

  • I recently saw something at the college bookstore that was more disturbing than $5.00 a gallon gas--a $200 textbook (it was the textbook for tax accounting). That's just ridiculous.

  • Ironic, isn't it? The richest nation and the most debt and fewer and fewer using their talents to enrich themselves and make this country more competetive.Research Student Loan Justice and ALAN COLINGE. Fight back.

  • Yelp, im in that statistic of kids who wanted to attend school but couldnt...

  • Great video on what is happening to our children who want a college education and cannot afford to obtain.
