The cost of college and graduate school is very expensive. There are certain careers that require advanced degrees, such as counseling. However, the pay is nothing near what it should be. There are many individuals providing a daily public service by serving children, families, students, and our future. However, these individuals can hardly afford to continue these careers due to poor pay, which is due to federal and state funding issues. Social workers, teachers, counselors, etc. will be able to provide better services without the financial stress caused by significant student loan debt combined with poor pay due to funding issues.
