Bankruptcy Questions and Higher Education Debt
Posted on February 2nd, 2009 in Finance |
I am so proud of my children. They are both getting great educations and forging ahead in their lives by building good careers that will serve themselves and their families well and also serve the greater good. I am concerned however that because of the inequity in our society, because a free education is not provided and the costs of education are so huge that they will have to borrow so much money that they will overburden themselves and have to face bankruptcy questions. I do not want that for anyone including my children. I believe that the sun is free, laughing is free, love is free and learning whatever you want, becoming whoever you want to become, creating whatever work you would like to do that brings out your innate qualities should also be free for the taking. I mean humanity will only benefit from all people fulfilling their life’s purpose to the best of their ability. I mean my daughter wants to be a doctor of natural medicine. Why must she pay for her education? She is going to benefit so many people for so many years and generations to come. And my son is getting a Masters degree in Sustainable Community Development. He wants to help save the Earth in his own way. Why should he go into debt to do that?
