The Truth About College and Living with Student Debt with Gevian Dargan

Thinking Critical Comic Book Podcast

Gevian Dargan, former assistant-editor at Milestone Comics, joins Wes for “It’s Complicated”, discuss about hot-button issues many people shy away from today. Today Gevian and Wes discuss the truth of college in todays society. There’s been an enormous increase in the percentage of Americans attending college. In many ways the intervention of the US government and guaranteed student loans created a sully and demand problem. Many more people demanded higher education than needed it. Tuition fees skyrocketed without any measurable increase in the product offered. Colleges also created new degree programs they knew wouldn’t afford students increased future employment or earning potential. Leaving millions of college graduate with degrees barely worth the paper they’re printed on but also stuck under onerous loans. The truth is college is important but it’s not necessary for every. In fact, it’s complicated.
