To study what you want or what you can?
Cheking the information and exploring different countries, Colombia, The US and Chile we can see that the educational situation is almost the same, money means you can do whatever you want, including studying. The situation in the Satates is incredible, is insane students have to get debts to receive any kind of certification that can asure them a better salary and after students graduate they have to continue paying what they own to the goverment, they will have the same debt for generations. In Chile students are fighting for the right to free education, or at least, cheaper education and with quality and in Colombia something is happening with the reforms that the goberment is appliying to the educational system, here in Colombia we can see that the public education is not as public as it sounds because not all the people is accepted and if a low-income person wants to go to a private university so the only way to do it real is getting a debt with higher economic interests that means that probably even after few generatios he or she will continue paying for the studies done some years before. So this means that in those three different contries the comunity of students have to choose actually a carrerer that will help them, after graduating, to get a better job with better payments, that could help if the debt wasn't as higher as it is now, but if a student like a poorly paid carrer and beside this he or she has to get a debt so he will never finish to pay the debt, wont receive credits from anywhere, wont have his/her own house and other stuff unless winning the lotto, so nowadays students have to study something that they dont really like but that will give them a "better" future for him/her and their families.
