In a visit to a high school in Syracuse, New York last week, President Obama remarked, “More than ever before, some form of higher education -- two year, four year, technical college -- that’s the path into the middle class.”
In today’s innovative economy people of all ages need a college education to gain the credentials needed to get and retain good jobs. And yet, the average debt of a college graduate who has taken on loans to pay for college is $26,000. Millions of graduates owe much more.
“The fact is,” President Obama continued in his speech, “college has never been more necessary, but it’s also never been more expensive.”
