Here at the U.C. system students are expected to pay astronomical fees and take out loans, if the money is not around or had been dealt to you through family. Most countries in the world have a system that revolves around the idea that education should be provided to the ones that are willing to work hard and not ones that are able to simply pay. This is why I would like to declare U.C. to stand for Uninhibited Capitalism!!! I mean paying astronomical fees only perpetuates the capitalist system and limits our freedom to pursue what we truly wish to do. We go to school, take out loans, then get a job as quick as possible so that we will be able to start paying them off and not be charged extra. The cost of a decent reputation will potentially cost you the rest of your life, or in a sense cost you your life. The perplexities that are intertwined within our system are ones that automatically perpetuate the system. It is not only in the UC system it is very much apparent within the united states in general. How is it possible that wages have no possibility to keep up with rising tuition? I understand that currently California is having some problems currently, but wouldn't it just make sense to just tax the movie industry and casinos more? When the government expects the university to act as a single entity within the system and only receive some support, doesn't it seem like there is something wrong with that system? It seems that it is being run to stay afloat, when automatically you would think the government would want to invest in the future and invest in the population that will eventually run a company, oops I meant country! Does this mean that in the United States morality is possibly missing? Investing in my educational life with monetary funds ultimately seems like an incredible hypocrisy! No wonder people are not going in to get a degree a lot of the time, when you have a system that forces you to invest something that will take you a good percentage of your working life to pay back...
