I have no answer for you. I graduated in 1974 with 13,000 worth of college loans.
In today's dollars roughly 78.000. My degree, was worth nothing in terms of employment.
That was my fault. I decided failure was not an option. That is the reason for my success. Failure was not an option. I got married. We lived cheap. I worked two jobs and shot weddings on the week ends. I paid back the money I borrowed. A strange concept for many.
