S1, E6: Should College Be Free/A Public Service? Student Debt, Community College + More!

In the sixth episode of "The Haleakalan" podcast, we discuss the actual credibility and qualifications of a college. The million dollar question for this episode was: "Is College Really Worth It?" With the prices of colleges increasing and education quality remaining the same, we broke down this question into several parts. A) Should college be free, or at least decrease their expenses and B) Should it be a public service? In 2019, student debt reached an all time high at $1.41 trillion. We broke down why the number is atrociously high, with the primary reasons being the corrupt Department of Education deceiving ignorant university students. The college scandals that occurred in recent years have caused people to consider moving to community colleges, and also minimize student debt. Subsequently, we conversed about whether going to community college is a smart decision or not. Tune in with us to learn whether college is actually the best choice for you!
