I'm fully aware of the cost of my education, and I'm also fully aware of the thousands of dollars that I'm going to have to pay back once I graduate.

Am I worried about having to pay off my loans until I die? Yes of course, but I'm also required to further my education in order to get any job that pays a living wage, so I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Now, for the part of this article where I get really upset with the American education system.

I take out nearly $25,000 in loans each year in order to go to a university where I'm forced to take classes that will never help me out in my career. We all take them. We all hate them. These classes are our prerequisites.

Why do I have to pay for these classes if they have nothing to do with my major/minor? I took most of these classes in high school. Why do I have to take them again at a higher level, and pay for them?

Frankly, I think it's a waste of my time and money. What's the point of high school if you're just going to make me do it all over in college?

The most frustrating thing about going to a university is by far, the cost. I can understand having to pay for higher education. If everybody could go to college for free, your degree would mean nothing. It'd be like having another high school diploma simply because everybody would have one, but why must we pay upwards of $20,000 each year?

The cost of a tuition and room and board at a public four-year, in-state university was about $9,000 in 2001. In 2016, the same kind of university cost a little over $20,000.

Why do college costs need to be so high? I'm, still waiting for a legitimate answer, America!

Until the cost of tuition decreases to a more reasonable price, I'll continue to pay off the interest on my loans every few months and I'll just keep dreading the day that I need to start paying $1,000 a month for the rest of my life.
