Student Loan Debt Tops $1 Trillion

Just make sure if they choose to go to college they weight the potential income of their career and the kind of hours their career will demand. There are a lot of dead end degrees out there and some college graduates don't realize it until later that the excessive amount of tuition they paid doesn't justify the salary of their new career.

A lot of teens don't really know what they want to do, but society pushes them to get a college degree. There are other ways to be successful without going into debt. If you think about it, if most college students would take the money they spent on getting a degree and used it to start their own business, they probably would have a better chance of making more money than the career they selected.
