Tuition & Salaries

Tuition and Salaries
One of the biggest realities of higher education is student loans and the ability to pay them back upon graduation. The New York Times offers an online interactive loan debt calculatorthat provides average amount of debt that students from particular institutions will graduate with, including principal loan amount and interest. It also calculates average salary necessary to meet the monthly minimum payment that does not exceed 20% of the person's discretionary income. Despite the ever rising student loan debt, salaries are not keeping up in response. Inflation-adjusted wages for workers are still and have barley grown in the past five years.
