But equipping your offspring with one of the cut-rate laptops in those back-to-school fliers is a false economy. Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:16:27 EDT Most lucrative college degrees Math majors don't always get much respect on college campuses, but fat post-grad wallets should be enough to give them a boost. Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:50:44 EDT Help with student loans for many, but not all The government's new student loan reform plan gets good grades from graduates with low-paying jobs struggling under a lot of debt.

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:20:25 EDT Support your struggling grads The average college grad comes out owing $22,500, per FinAid.org - a scary sum in good economic times. Now unemployment for BA holders is at its highest since the Labor Department started keeping track in 1992, making that debt burden even more onerous. Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:00:00 EDT The trouble with public colleges At the 50,000-student University of Florida, only 50 or so undergrads major in geology. It's not exactly an easy subject. Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:20:10 EDT Get a job, ditch your student loans Many college graduates are struggling with heavy student loan debt and steep monthly payments that limit their professional options. But for some, choosing the career of their dreams could actually lift that burden. Tue, 05 May 2009 06:14:11 EDT Get smart about borrowing for college By now, most college-bound high school seniors have accepted an admissions offer and are cruising blissfully toward graduation, summer, and their chosen campus come fall. For parents, on the other hand, the hard work of financing this education is just beginning.

Lucy's test scores mean she'll be shut out of our city's coveted "gifted" public schools. Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:09:05 EDT Four job strategies for the class of 2009 Yes, it's tough out there. If you're getting ready to graduate, you've no doubt heard, and been thoroughly depressed by, the dire statistics: The National Association for Colleges and Employers has reported that campus hiring is down (after rising annually since 2003) by 22% this year, and many college career counselors say it's worse than that, with on-campus recruiting visits declining by as much as 50%. |
