The ever-increasing prices for complete (a full degree/program) education in colleges and universities may act as a barrier to ones education. Of course, one can say that loans and grants can cover all expenses but paying back those loans (with interest) takes nearly a lifetime. According to ‘Canadian Federation of Students, the average student graduates university with a debt of $37,000’. The inability to pay back these vast sums of money may prevent a student from pursuing a career they might like if the job is more recreational, not in demand or does not pay well. So, students will be forced to choose a career they might not necessarily like but since it might pay well and in turn help them pay their debts, they will choose it. So, why do Universities increase fees and why does the government allow it? One reason could be that universities have insufficient funding from the government which in turn forces them to increase tuitions, lay off some employees and cut down courses to make ends meet. Unfortunately, this affects students who then have to spend their summers, weekends and their holidays
