The Higher Education Bubble [infographic]

The Higher Education Bubble [infographic] | Higher Education and academic research | Scoop.it

Student loans are one of the biggest problems facing our country at the moment. Thousands of students attend university and even if they drop out, students still end up with mountains of debt. This debt can follow them throughout their life.

 

Today’s infographic says 85% of today’s college graduates will move back in with their parents after school. I know my parents would love seeing my face more around the house, although they would probably prefer I get a job after college. If only higher education didn’t cost as much.

 

Key takeaways:

 

- Student loans surpassed credit card debts.

- Students now graduate with an average debt of $24,000.00.
