36% of young adults say their college debt wasn't worth it
#7
Another way of looking at it saying that 64% of students said college debt was worth it some way. It also depends on what field and how much debt you are talking. A friend of mine graduated with 7k in debt and another person I know has about 90k in debt. 7k debt isn't too bad, 90k is a lot too handle.

Not everyone is cut out for or wants to their bachelor's degree online, the big 3 aren't for everyone. For those doing a bachelors degree, the traditional route will likely have some debt.

For me personally, I went to CC and got my associates debt-free working through college. Although worth noting, I would not have been able to do this without living with my parents rent-free. I was going to finish my degree online through TESU but I found amazing and unique opportunity to finish my degree in person in just a year. I will graduate in May with around 8k in debt (possibly less if I get more scholarships). But in my opinion, for me it is already worth it. There are so many things I access to that I wouldn't have access to if I did my degree at TESU.
