Paying for a Future

Money. It's everywhere and whether we like it or not it does control our lives. We revolve around the economy and the stock market. If gas is cheap we buy some and stock up. If there's a sale on school supplies in December we stock up for the following year. We're expected to pay for almost everything these days from water to even oxygen. Education is at the top of the to-do list for many politicians but most simply skip it and start raking the yard. They expect us to get an education and one day to pass the world off to us but how can such an honor come to pass if the very education that they expect us to get is out of the price range. No sacrifice no victory but what victory is there in years and years of debt just for an average paying job that gets you know where in life! How can one honestly expect a middle class kid to go to college, get a degree and enter the world $100,000 in debt and expect to survive?! Sure, scholarships are great and they help but out of the dozens and dozens of essays that you wrote, how many were actually beneficial? Did you ever get any financial help? Ive spent more time writing the essays than sleeping just to find out the scholarship was awarded to kid from the upper class who's daddy was going to pay what ever he couldn't raise from scholarship.

That's another issue. How the hell did some of these people get into the institutions that they did? You have to know that money was the persuading factor in their acceptance. They arrive to college with the very best of everything and then they flaunt and shoot glares at your out-dates lap top which is being held together by duct tape and super glue. To top it off their as dumb as a toad and soak up all the tutoring help for simple, first grade issues.

Now I know I'm stereotyping a little bit but all of these come from real life encounters. Society expects us middle class low life's to go thousands of dollars in debt just so we can barley hang on in the social ladder once we our launched from our cocoons. What's that? We need it to survive? Well, since you put it that way...
