I've met graduating college kids facing loan payments and a bad economy, and they are worried that they won't be able to get a job. This is not the way America needs to be.

I didn't want to go to college or work in an office or have a nine-to-five job. I knew that quite clearly before I left school.

I definitely had a hard time leaving for college because I'm not much of a risk-taker.

I thought I would set the world on fire when I got out of college. I had done quite well in a field that was growing. Unfortunately, we got hit with a recession in 1981.

By making college unaffordable and student loans unbearable, we risk deterring our best and brightest from pursuing higher education and securing a good-paying job.

Security was another reason. You never know what can happen to you when you earn a lot of money.

I have to keep healthy; otherwise, I jeopardise my career.

Let me say no danger and no hardship ever makes me wish to get back to that college life again.

Don't stay at the job for safe salary increases over time. That will never get you where you want - freedom from financial worry. Only free time, imagination, creativity, and an ability to disappear will help you deliver value that nobody ever delivered before in the history of mankind.
