Student loans make living with debt a harsh reality for college grads

Great visualization of the average student loan debt carried by students coming out of college across the country.  Amazing that most states’ averages are more than $15,000 per student.  It’s tough to bash people for not saving enough when going to school automatically puts you in the hole as you enter the workforce.

It will be interesting to see how the secondary education bubble deflates over the next few years as students can’t turn to parents’ home equity loans and 401k’s etc. to fund overpriced college tuitions.

    Sorry, parents 401Ks have long dried up as a college source. Most students I know can take unlimited money through federally guaranteed programs so the college equity bubble will only pop when the federal government gains the political courage to stop this inflationary program. AKA, never.
