In the past, there is pride associated with getting a degree. But as time changes so is the value of having a degree. Not only is the value of degree depreciating but the price of getting a degree is also higher i.e. the increase in tuition fees. Just like what we used to learn in mathematics, the value of degree is inversely proportional to the cost of getting a degree. The fact is though the tuition fees is repeatedly increasing, there is also an increase of people obtaining degree. Thus, when there is so many having obtained a degree which makes it so common that the value of a degree holder depreciate.
Now, I will get back to topic. So how is money associated with degree? In the past, getting into university is based solely on your academic results. It's not as if there is any difference now. So the difference here is that if you are rich, there is an extra avenue for you to consider which is either an offshore degree or going abroad. It doesn't really matter if you gotta study a longer period so long as you have the fiance to do so.
So that leave us to think, so what happen to the poor who couldn't afford that? It's really a shame that such things exist. But that is reality.
Therefore, I think in order to have a level playing field. I will suggest that the poor be able to get as much help as they can get to have a level playing field. In order for that to happen, the children must be able to have access to free tuition to have their foundation laid strong.
This is also because many of the well to do children have access to tuition which allows them to strengthen weaker subjects. I am not saying that those without tuition couldn't do it, of course there are some who are still able to achieve outstanding results without the need of tuition.
I believe in doing so, the children of the poor will then be able to gain into university via good academic results.
Hence, money is definitely related in how a degree is being obtained. Unless there is avenue for the children of the poor to have access in strengthening their weaker subjects for free. The children shouldn't be deprived of extra help just because their parents couldn't afford them.
