Alternatives such as work for non-profits or probono case work for lawyers and other professionals should be taken in account as a form of repayment. Student loans are lifetime burdens that lenders take advantage of. Caps on interest rates and finance charges should also be put in to place so that students don’t become prey for predatory lending schemes as experienced by the housing industry.

Hopefully our next President will take education seriously and promote new ideas that will help all Americans obtain and pay for a higher education.
