Resources to help pay for student debt

The Issue

Education, is shoved down our throats from the time that you enter kindergarten. Once you get into high school all the test are entry skill testing in preparation for ACT and SAT test to get to a variety of colleges made up to accept your scores. MOST people rush out to college to get a degree fresh out of high school for something they will never use or are not even interested in, though at the time they don't realize it.  Lottery pays to build schools and sports programs make a fortune off of student  and dont put it back into their schools.the fafsa helps because we are barely making it financially and schools then bate us into loans have now and oay with your life later.  We need legislature helping site those funds back into colleges that offer loans to help oay for the. It's amazing that before the huge push for college people obtained skills and learned jobs that way. Entry level with ON THE JOB TRAINING. Now for an entry level job you need a Master Degree or a PHD. Still in most cases not obtaining employment due to lack of experience.  There is alot of money that the Dept of Education earns and no relief for people who are sucked into this cycle. Starting off our lives should not  include a degree we are unable to gain employment and financial Debt we are unable to get out of. This is UNFAIR and needs to change.
