The Student Debt Crisis: What went wrong?


Listen Later

One point six- not million, not billion but 1.6 trillion dollars worth of student debt from a single nation alone. What went so wrong that providing for higher education to advance one’s career now leads those very individuals to look for menial jobs just to be able to pay off their loans? Every day, there are news stories about the "college tuition crisis". If you follow current affairs, you are very well aware of how much of a significant topic this was for the 2020 presidential election in the United States. But what is the actual crisis that we are seeking to solve here? Is it the staggering amount of student debt? The rapidly rising cost of higher education? Is the interest being collected on student loans? The high default rate on student loans? Would forgiving student loans solve all of it? Is that even possible? I got you covered; your favourite podcaster is right back at it- in today’s episode, we take the crisis at hand, analyse it, dissect its causes and figure out the solutions that can be implemented to avoid a forthcoming disaster. I wish more politicians could think like me smh
