The cost of higher education continues to rise and college debt has reached unsustainable levels. Potential students are faced with an increasingly more difficult decision: Do the benefits of college outweigh the costs? Is a college degree worth it? What are the parallels between the housing bubble and the current situation with student debt? How did we come to this point and what is the future of the United States higher education system? Find out the answers to these questions and many more in the The Truth About The College Student Debt Crisis!
