[quote=Anonymous]Deciding to go to college at a university that was offering academic financial aid that allowed me to graduate without debt vs. going to my 1st choice where I would have had to take out significant loans to pay the full tuition. My parents pushed for this, though it was ultimately my choice. I was really grateful I didn't have student debt as the recession hit less than a year after I graduated. This was more luck, but I decided to work before grad school and was able to ride it out in a comfortable government position with lots of room for career growth. I have a lot of friends and colleagues who went straight in to grad school and graduating in 2008/2009 was really rough for them. In some cases, they are still slightly behind in their careers after being forced to take sub-par gigs during those years. [/quote]
