Student Loans are number 1 US debt (www.studentloans.gov)
It is common knowledge that by embarking on higher education in the United States, you will be getting into quite a significant amount of debt. With the average cost of a student loan rising in 2009 to a staggering $24,000, it is now said that the cost of student loans has become the largest contributor to US debt closing in on nearly 1 trillion dollars.
Despite the huge cost of achieving higher education in the US, many people believe the cost to be worth it as there is a significant increase in the average salary after achieving a degree. However, there are many students that obtain higher education and then find that they have either lost interest or that there is simply very few jobs available in the real world that makes use of their knowledge.
The market value of a degree has also dropped significantly over the past few years and with the costs of actually achieving a degree increasing year on year, it is thought that many students will start to be ‘put off’ going into higher education due to the huge amount of debt that it puts them in.
