College Students: The Walking Debt
By T6W Staff, Dec 23, 2011 in Infographics, Offbeat

Top Colleges Online (TCO) believes that education is important but that the cost of education and the large amounts of debt that most students take on are major problems. To highlight the problem TCO designed an Infographic to emphasize that students today are caught in a catch-22 situation: either become slaves to debt, or forego an education and limit their possibilities.
In this Infographic, TCO took student surveys about student loan debt to learn more about how debt affects students psychologically. 79% of young people surveyed believe that obtaining a college education now is more important than when their parents were growing up. But experts are mixed on whether college pays off, especially since a college degree no longer guarantees employment and over 9% of recent graduates can’t find jobs.
Debt-laden college grads are not just faced with the potential of unemployment – they have to survive… somehow. In the online coming-of-age comedy series Squatters, two employed, but financially-strapped, friends vow to live rent free for an entire year. What they didn’t know… was what it would cost them.
