How can Wisconsin make higher education more affordable?
I don't think it's realistic to expect the University of Wisconsin or the state or federal government to make higher education more affordable. I do, however, think a lot can be done to better inform students about what it means to take out $20,000 or more in student loans.
We need to start telling young people the truth — that a college education does not ensure a high salary and a "better life" (whatever that means), that massive student loan debt makes you an indentured servant, and that all of the jobs you are qualified for or interested in might offer salaries equivalent to your student loan debt.
