Persuasive Argument Research Paper

Topic: Student Loans: A generation ago, the federal government opened its student loan bank to profit-making corporations. Since then, law by law, student debt has become the worst kind of debt for American students (best for banks and loan collectors). Student loans are not even allowed to be dismissed in bankruptcy. Consider some possible solutions: Permitting loan forgiveness, allowing bankruptcy, eliminating private collection agencies from this process.

TOPIC AND THESIS (this is my opinion)

American student loans should be forgiven because many times the large loans stop our students from continuing with their overcomings, due to the fear that he or she may face when they are going to be forced to pay the debts without having the certainty that they will be able to join quickly the working life.The more educated our students are a better society we will have. Students are the future of a country.

This topic interests me because I suffered it on my own flesh and I also see the same thing happens to a lot of my schoolmates. There are a lot of cases that after finishing the school with excellent grades and big student loans people can't find a job related with their career. It is not fair for anyone after sacrificing so much for so long. It is necessary to do something on this matter.
