Obama and McCain on Higher Education
Today being Election Day and this being an education blog, I thought it proper to outline how this election will affect your pursuit of higher education. Higher education has been a very minor issue in this campaign, overshadowed by the country’s current economic woes and financial crisis. However, higher education will be a vital part of the long term situation of the economy. Many countries’ workforces have been catching up to the United States in terms of education. Some may even soon surpass us. This will bear down heavily on American jobs as other areas of the world, with cheaper workers can equal or better us in the areas of innovation and highly technical work.
With the election occurring as I am typing, I will outline what the candidates have stated concerning higher education and my analysis on how this will affect the average college student (Joe the Student, if you will).
