Have any of you unlocked the key to getting out of college debt?

Start at a community college. No point paying $10,000 in tuition for English 101 and remedial math. Don't get a useless degree. Don't blow $200,000k on a degree that'll earn $35,000 a year. Look for every scholarship and grant on the planet. Go to a school that has an expanding department for whatever you're studying, they'll usually have block grants for that department that can be passed on to students. Finally, if you don't know what you want to do career wise, don't go to college. You'll just be wasting time and cash. There's nothing wrong with waiting, or even skipping college.
