Getting a good job with a college degree becomes harder to get. As the odds of getting a good job with a college degree decrease, the cost of going to college increases. This is a problem that every college and university will face in the coming years. If something is not done regarding the price of tuition and the stability of the job market. There will be an inevitable collapse for universities in the future. There are many issues that contribute to this problem. The rising cost of tuition, debt, declining student enrollment. The economy and the current and future job market. Supply and demand also play an important role. The first is the cost of tuition. The cost of tuition has increased. Going to college without taking out some type of student loan is nearly impossible these days, but it was very common 30-50 years ago. Why have university fees increased? “Inflation can't explain it; Over the past 20 years, tuition has risen twice as fast as the overall cost of living” (Larson 1997).

To find out why tuition has...... half the paper ......der the students themselves, and whether they chose not to pursue a career with their degree. That said, the cost of tuition is the underlining factor. If school were more affordable it wouldn't be a gamble for future and current students.

There are also payment plans and different types of financial aid to choose from.

People need to understand that you can get a great education at a less expensive college. There are great teachers at community and junior colleges who can provide you with an education as good if not better than that of elite universities.
