Journalists Melissa Korn and Andrea Filler, in an article published in the Wall Street Journal, spoke about Cassandra Jones, a 28-year-old young woman who is forced to sell her eggs in order to somehow make ends meet.
And this despite the fact that she has a master’s degree from New York University (NYU) with a degree in public health. Many of the university graduates, having spent significant amounts on education, find it difficult to find work and receive low wages, journalists say. Jones works as a “freelancer” for a non-profit organization and receives $ 1,500 a month, and for her studies at the university she had to take out several federal loans totaling $ 131,000, which must be paid back.
Over four years, the cost of completing a bachelor’s degree (lower education), including tuition and other expenses, can exceed $320,000, and NYU is quite stingy when it comes to providing grants. University grants cover approximately 62% of all undergraduate student expenses, the lowest percentage of any private institution. Therefore, students and their parents, more than in any other four-year university in the country, are forced to resort to federal loans.
