Receiving a degree in higher education is the lime light in anyone's life. We acheive this recognition so not only that we may be known as an expert in a field of study we love, but to be looked on proudly by those we for and to be accepted by our external social circle. We strive to become the best, take on a load on loans to claim prestige. Is the prestige society has drilled in us to believe that comes with a degree, worth it? of course. However, this system of influence, will never end, but something must be done about the unending rise of student loans.
As my title mentioned I coined the financial aspect of the education system "competitive burden". Why? well let us look at it. We ultimately live in a competitive world. Darwin saw it and so we must acknowledge this as well. In the higher education system, the more we desire to beat the competition, the more our burden increase. The burden would be the loan, so we can see the correlation between the the increase of debt in relations to the persons academic degree. I agree this looks simple, but the complexity of it is not transparent.
