Reinventing the Education in America part 2

" In today's social stratum, a good education is the ticket for someone to transcend their current rank into the upper echelons of society. This is America, where everybody is supposed to get the same shot at success, regardless of the income level they are born into. Marking education available to everyone is the best weapon against social division and will ultimately bring this country closer together. "

- Nick Scotti



" The act of "working your way through school" is non-existent in this country anymore. We have become the United States of debt and the only way to get a better future is to sign away your life to a bank. If you are one of the unlucky majority to put yourselves through school, loans offer the only bridge to get you to your degree.
After graduating college I found that without my knowledge my loans were sold to banks I had never heard of and separated between those lenders. Now I pay banks that deliberately obscure payment information from me so that my account incurs fees. Loans should not deter people from educating themselves, and they do. "
