The future. That dark unknown. That adventurous flight. That terrifying reality. And on top of that sits a mound of green paper slowly being sucked away from my reach. That's right....student loans.
As soon as I opened up to this particular chapter of Naked Economics, I was again faced with that horrific reality. The cost of an education is rising rapidly while the income of the common American, the one who is going to be attending these colleges, is staying stagnant or going down. It's like this week's lesson on supply in demand: demand increases...so does cost.
As I approached senior year and the prospect of college, I began to watch my plans and dreams morph with price resting it's ugly head above it all. This issue of the unknown most certainly directly affects me. The unknown is scary not just because we don't know if there's a step to land on as we fumble through the darkness but also because it can hurt you.
This chapter of Naked Economics encourages me still to find out every possible thing about what I want to do in the future because man, is it coming fast and hard. If the unknown can hurt me, then I want to make sure I charge into it with full armor.
