We're at whole new level in our relationship with stress.
Imagine a world where working a minimum-wage summer job could cover your full tuition fees for an entire year at a public university. In 1978, that was a reality for many students. This stark contrast to today’s rising tuition costs paints a picture of how much things have changed over the years.
Back then, a full-time summer job could earn enough money to pay for tuition and required fees at an in-state public university. Today, students are burdened with enormous amounts of debt, often leaving school with loans that take years, if not decades, to pay off. It’s a conversation worth having about the future of higher education and how we can make it accessible again.
The cost of education has skyrocketed, but it’s clear that the current system may not be sustainable in the long run. As we look toward the future, it’s important to ask how we can ensure that quality education remains accessible and affordable for everyone. 📚💸
