This Court Case Could Unshackle Americans From Student Debt

94. You don't have to rack up triple digit debt

Go to community college for the first couple of years then transfer to a state supported university or a private university that has plenty of financial aid available. Don't major in the liberal arts without getting a teaching certificate unless you plan to go on to a graduate or professional degree. Seriously, why would someone major in English or history without getting a teaching certificate. Don't major in something that requires a graduate or professional degree unless you are prepared to go all the way. Don't go into triple digit debt to study the fine arts. You can be an artist, musician or actor WITHOUT getting a college degree in it.

As for working your way through, I think you still can, but it means going to school part time, continue living with your parents and doing everything I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Understand the career path of your chosen profession. Don't rack up debt at a cooking school if you think you're going to be anything other than a line cook for a few years after you graduate.

Are high schools and parents doing a good job advising kids about careers and college? I wonder. Or maybe the kids aren't listening.
