  • STUPID NERD . THERE ARE LOTS OF STUPID NERDS OUT THERE. FINANCIAL LITERACY IS THE ANSWER MORON . HURRIBLE INVESTMENT CUNT. TECHNICAL SCHOOL LEARN A TRADE U WILL SURVIVE IN ANY HOLE OF THE WORLD . LAY OFF THE DRUGS TOO.

  • This guy is pathetic. You put yourself in that situation so live with it you moron!

  • depends on the lifestyle but 95 k debt is crippling way to start out. I left with 7 k in student loans. I agree it is better to get a technical college diploma for a secure job. I never made any profit on my major. I still try though. My way. Others with less education and a trade got the head start but life style choices and culture, community and character building are not about about social security. needs are a driving force.

  • People should consider the fact that most jobs that require university degrees are not in high demand, unless you're studying to be a doctor of course, or something along those lines.

    Technical jobs are in high demand though. More people should consider technical colleges because the world can't run with out people to build and maintain it. The benefits you reap from these technical jobs will give you the lifestyle you want, no matter what the job.

  • This guy is silly. He should have known what he was getting into.

  • The life of students is very experienced anywhere in the world! I would like to improve the conditions ...
