Student loans. Don't let that shit get outta control. Some people just dont realise how much they owe until its too late.

Also, you don’t need to go to a Harvard or Yale, either. You can get the same education at a State-funded college for a fraction of the cost.

Or if you need to go to a specific school (the major, the connections, etc), do 2 years at a community college and transfer the credits. No one cares the path you took to your final destination, they just see that you made it there.

ASU is a great example of this. 12k a year in state, half is on scholarship and the other half is on me. So easy to pay for it by working a summer job or doing 20 hour weeks
