The Cost of Education vs. College Grads

Most of my peers are still paying off their student loans.  My parents were generous enough to pay for my four year stint at the best party big ten school in Michigan, Michigan State.


And I will always thank them for that.

Are you reading what I'm reading?  All the Millennials graduating  with any kind of student debt may have no hope if job creation continues to putter along.  We need more than minimum wage jobs with decent benefits to pay off the education we needed to get that minimum way job; I'm looking at you McDonald's!  I believe I heard somewhere recently that the actual minimum wage should be somewhere more like $21 and I'm pretty sure I also heard that the Obama's recently paid off their student loans.  Something has to give.  I went to college to get the skills I needed to be involved in the work force and now my outcome is just as bleak as when I graduated high school with honors.

Now what?
