Tuition

I was reading an article about “Free College Tuition,” which really strikes my interest because I’m sure most Americans are trying to get by paying off their college education, even after they’re finished. In this article they suggested that government pay for 16 years of schooling. Boy, if only. I’m not sure how most students pay for tuition, whether it’s by their parents or by loan but I have to pay out of pocket whenever the payment plan has set up for me. It’s really tough to come up with payment when I already live paycheck to paycheck. Working and trying to do the best I can in my classes is tough. Because I graduated high school early I was living like an adult at age 17. Most jobs now, decent jobs for an adult to live off of, require you to at least have your Associates degree. So, I do agree with the article when it said the government should pay for 16 years of schooling or at least at tuition be high school pay rate. I understand the importance of a good education for physical therapists, accountants, lawyers and I agree they should pay for a good school and a good education. I want my doctor to be as smart as he can be. But then again, how is it fair for us middle class people who really want to go to school but can’t because of money? Isn’t that why we go to school and get an education, to make good money and to have a good living? I guess that’s what we call Life.
