Pourquoi le coût des #études doit être socialisé!
America’s college loan crisis comes to $1.5 trillion worth of debt. But if you think it’s only a young person’s problem, think again. Many struggle to pay their monthly minimum, like Seraphina Galante, a 76-year-old social worker in San Diego.
“This is a mountain that I will never be able to climb. I am terrorized,” Galante said.
CBS News met Galante on the campus of San Diego State University, where she got her master’s degree 19 years ago. She still owes nearly $40,000. Galante is one of more than 3 million people over 60 still paying off college loans. Like her, many went back to improve their job prospects, while others are paying off loans for their kids or grandkids’ education.
