join the military or start working directly after high school‚ most students will decide to pursue higher education in a specialized career path. The unfortunate truth for students is that the cost of college will deter them from achieving what they really want to do in life.

An unsaid question hangs in the air between us and I start to trace patterns on the sand with my finger. I can hear him sigh. Will it really be okay?
