who decided that asking a bunch of kids fresh out of highschool to make a potentially 30,000$ decision to go to college?
most teenagers out of high school really have no idea what they are good at and what they want to do with their lives. and yet, at least in the united states, we beat it in to them that they need to go to college and get a degree without them having enough real experience to figure out what they want to do with their lives. not to mention informing them of the economic ramifications that come with it. potentialy getting into anywhere from 10k to 100k in debt before they are 25 years old. #whosideawasthis? #college-decisions #debt
What do I need to learn how to do before moving out and living on my own?
I wasn't taught a whole lot at school about what living on your own entails, and now the time has come where I am becoming an adult and have started preparing for my future. I have yet to learn how credit works, as well as interests and loans. I dont know how to do my own taxes or what investing looks like. I want to know where I would learn these things, and what the hardest/most important aspect of living on your own is to keep in mind. #money #taxes #debt #student #student-loans #interest #credit #livingathome #independently-funding-my-education

How much debt will you be in after college?
I want to attend a four-year college, but I'm also worried about debt and student loans. I'd like to take action that would prevent me from having to spend the rest of my life paying off debt ( like the 2 years at York tech free then going to an actual college). But if it will be worth it for the college experience, personal development, and somewhat independent living, I would be willing to do it. Simply tell me if it's worthwhile.

Is spending 8 years learning really worth becoming a doctor?
Right now, I'm a sophomore in high school and very often people ask me who I want to be after college. My response had usually been a doctor, but after doing some research about the job, I understand that becoming an actual doctor is a very rocky step. I feel like a lot of time is needed, as well as a lot of financial resources to finish college and then medical school. As well, I understand that after med school I will need to spend another 2-4 years as an intern and then possibly more to specialize in something. So, I'm just wondering whether in the end it will be worth it, because if I do choose this path I feel like the next 12, or so years of my life I will be a student and possibly not earning enough to adequately support myself and pay the school debts. #doctor #medical-school #student-loans #learning #debt #expenses
What are the best tools for staying debt free when going to college?
I've heard stories of people getting "full rides" to college and I want to know how? Does that mean they will get their education at no financial cost? And if so, how can all of us students do that?

How am I going to pay off my college debt?
My parents are separated, and my mother is barely able to keep my family afloat. Many nights I've had to go to bed hungry because my mother simply couldn't afford to buy food. I work a part-time job, but because my mother asks for money constantly, I lose my paychecks quickly. Nobody is going to help me. I want to become an Emergency Room Doctor; I want to help those who need it most. My life's goal is to become a doctor for Doctors without Borders, but how am I going to become a doctor if I'll be drowning in debt from getting my undergraduate degree? #debt #college #collegedebt #medicine #doctor #premed #money #money-management #help #texas-a-&-m
What steps can I take to make college affordable?
I am a current college student in my sophomore year. I recently learned that my parent will only be able to contribute about 5% of my college education.

What are some methods to reduce the cost of medical school/pay off debt effectively?
Even though medical school is several years away for me, I would like to be prepared in advance. I've seen that med school is quite the hassle in terms of finances and debt, but that the result is worth it, including the income from a residency after med school.

How does not having a #credit score effect one's significant #financial #decisions in life?
I've recently been viewing seminars by #Dave #Ramsey. He spoke of being #debt free and that having a #credit card is not necessary for #life. However, I know that some transactions request a credit score. Also, when shopping online or #traveling abroad I've always thought it was safer to have a credit card in case I'm #compromised so that I'm not losing my real money. However, being debt free is ideal and perhaps these #life events can still be accomplished #successfully without a credit score. I'd like to know what that potentially looks like.
