Question

Explain why it might be a good idea to borrow money for college if you might not
otherwise afford to go.

Answer 1

If you borrow money it does have its flaws but its good because it gives you this education for whatever passion/ job you are seeking out.  Say you want to be a Vet or Doctor then going to take out money for school might add up but in the end you get paid amazing and you help out many things as you live your live doing your passionate dream job and not at some school that paid for your tuition.  It does have flaws but it has many more decencies. 

Answer 2

Because college is an investments for higher earning

Currently, almost all high paying jobs require the candidates to be at least a bachelor degree before they can apply. This mean that you could pay off the loan that you take for your college education a few years after you obtain a job.

On top of that You can always choose to find part time jobs during your college years to cover parts of the loan, so the amount become significantly smaller after you graduate.
