Higher Education

During today’s economy where it is so hard to find a good job because not many companies are actually hiring, it is important to get the highest degree of education that we can get.  I understand that higher education can be really expensive if you are going to a private institution where you can spend potentially $50,000 a year on tuition and there are certainly not a lot of families that can afford that.  I believe that the state and federal governments should step up and help out students who are interested in receiving a higher education, because who is to say that a student from a poor family does not deserve the same opportunity to a higher education like a student from a wealthy family gets.  Thar poor student could work really hard in his higher education and be someone who makes a significant difference in the world one day and without the state paying contributing to that education, that student probably would not have been able to do much with his life.  We are not all fortunate enough to live in a big house or have wealthy parents, I know that I don’t but it does not mean that we should not have a chance to receive a higher education like all the other people do.
