Does The Stimulus Really Help University Students?
Though the stimulus package does help those students reach for higher goals, encouraging them to acquire higher level degrees, it misses the boat when it comes to helping students get out of loan trouble.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 19, 2010 ) Fort Lauderdale, FL
President Obama has created a stimulus plan to help students focus all their concentration on their education (as opposed to the pain that they have to constantly suffer at the hands of the university collections department). However, as much as the plan has reached many students, helping many fulfill their academic destinies, it does have its shortcomings that many people don’t even realize, let alone talk about.
For many students, the package is in place to allow them get the degree that they need to make a name for themselves as soon as they finish their education. This money most aptly goes to those students whose goal it is to acquire an advanced degree --a Bachelor’s degree just doesn’t cut it anymore. Now, the truth is the plan was put in place to encourage more students to continue their higher level education; as such, the money that is being given to students mostly goes towards those who are getting degrees beyond their Master’s. And even for those who are attempting to reach Doctorate or Professional status, there is most definitely a hierarchy amongst the concentrations. Because there is such a desire for nurses, teachers, and IT professionals, the bulk of the money is reaching those departments. It is a much more lucrative idea to attempt to acquire a Master’s in information technology than, say, a Master’s in English Literature.
As much as this plan is doing its part to encourage students to reach for the stars, the problem comes after all the classes have been taken, the degrees awarded, and the titles given. Most students have had to apply for loans to fund a portion or all of their education. Depending upon whether or not the student gets employment with a business that offers loan forgiveness, that student will be paying well into their 30s until the loan has been cleared. What the stimulus plan covers in terms of loans are those people who have used loans to pay for a mortgage, a car payment, or any number of expenditures that may or may not have been a direct result of someone’s irresponsibility. Students, on the other hand, are given the short end of the stick. The stimulus package ignores a very fundamental problem amongst students --their inability to go through school without having to worry about excessive debt.
The plan does cover certain aspects of education; however, it fails to give help to those who have been directly indoctrinated into the capitalist ideologies of the United States. The cry has been to get as high a degree as you can to become an active member of society; however, in order to even begin to land on one’s feet, he needs to ensure that his credit isn’t in jeopardy. Yes, the stimulus plan does help those students who deign to earn a degree befitting a professional. But the fundamental problem is that students aren’t given the same priority as those who may or may not deserve a second (or third, or fourth) chance.
