I have none. When I was an undergrad my parents and I split my tuition, so I just got factory jobs over summer to pay my half and had jobs during the semester for housing/beer/food/blah. When I went to grad school, I got paid because I majored in Physics and you don't pay for graduate school in science.

Ok. I just don't see the relationship between that and my previous comment about making $8 an hour.

My kid had a paid internship over the summer that paid two grand a week 12 weeks in all
8 bucks an hour is minimum wage and doesn't require a degree or student loan debt?
What does working for peanuts have to do with college debt?

After reading the balance of college debt nationally I just wonder how many here have it and why you have it? Did you not save for college? plan for college? Go to an expensive school just for the experience? why? why? why?

No college debt thank God and not even from the beginning. I think the importance of college is overstated. College is useful to some people. It is a means to a desired end, BUT if that puts you into crippling debt, better not to go. Open a book and read...that is pretty much college.
