The sad truth is that almost everyone is affected. In the society we live in today, jobs require you to have at least an associate's degree. Low-paying jobs even require you to have some college experience. College is becoming an inescapable situation for many people. Due to population and technological growth, students now face competition all over the planet. Speaking of global competition, college is free in some European countries. It is foolish to call the United States of America a “land of opportunity,” but European countries have taken the lead in offering free or extremely cheap college education. It is very unfair for American citizens to pay thousands of dollars for a university education while European students pay almost nothing. The culprits are universities and the Ministry of Education.
