The rising costs of higher education coupled with the stress of paying student loans are putting increasing pressure on students.

For-profit higher education is today a booming industry, feeding on the student loans handed out to the desperate.

There's more student debt than credit card debt! Everywhere I go, I run into young people trying to build careers while they keep shelling out money on their education loans. If the economy is looking for a new generation of home-buyers, I can't imagine they'll get it from these folks.

Student loan debt is the reason I don't advise students who want to become entrepreneurs to apply to elite, expensive colleges. They can be as successful if they go to a relatively inexpensive public college.

Students graduating with high debt encounter difficulties in qualifying for home and automobile loans.

Borrowing to pay for college used to be the exception; now it's the rule.

Learn how to prioritize all your debt. And did you know student loan debt is the most dangerous debt any of us can have?

Ever since going up to university, I have accumulated new debt, and new means of becoming indebted.

You might say those who can't repay their student debts shouldn't have borrowed in the first place. But they had no way of knowing just how bad the jobs market would become.
