In the course of conducting interviews about the student debt crisis and how it is affecting the students of the United States, some things seemed disturbing to me. First off, not everyone has a plan to pay back their student loans. Yes, there were only two interviews conducted, but it is the truth; not everyone has a plan. The federal government requires that whoever takes out a student loan completes their counseling course before doing so. It is long, boring, and it doesn’t actually give you a plan. Sure, you have to take it, but in reality, are you going to have a plan to pay back your student loans after going through a counseling course that took less than an hour to do. Another thing that was evident was that both interviewees were unaware. They were unaware of the magnitude of the student loan crisis, and they were unaware of the implications that go along with taking out student loans. One thing that was prevalent on both of the interviewees faces and in their speech at the end of their interviews was that they started to ask themselves if college is worth it. Allison Vesterfelt asked herself the very same thing in her article, and it seems that the question, “was [college] worth it”, is popping up more and more (Vesterfelt, 2013). The student loan crisis is beginning to wear people down. People are thinking more and more frequently that college isn’t the answer because it leaves you in such a deep hole of debt by the time you get out due to the mountains of fees that come with the education, if you can call it an education at this point. It’s something that is a mind-boggling question; is college worth it anymore?
