It pains my economic sensibilities to read how much college debt the average student takes on today. The U.S. has plenty of really broke college graduates.
My advice as a person who matriculated in college almost every year until I was 38 is work your way through school, seek out scholarships, and borrow as little as possible. My total student loans for two advanced degree programs in five years of graduate school came out to less than the cost of the average undergraduate’s college debt today. Scholarships were the key to my ability to hang out on college campus like Van Wilder.
