10 Things Your College Student Won’t Tell You (10 Things: Personal Finance) | SmartMoney.com

Seventy percent admit to cheating, and more than that think it’s no big deal. Many of them are terribly depressed; 1,100 a year commit suicide. If they take off their clothes while drunk at a party, pictures will be proudly posted to Facebook the next day. And they’re racking up credit card debt at an astonishing rate, with most grads owning six different credit cards and owing over $3000 to the banks, and that doesn’t even get into their college loans.

Get ready, America. Millennial college grads are boomeranging back home.

All this and more in a neat little article from SmartMoney.com. Worth a quick read.

(Oh, and speaking of reads, my copy of Robbins’ The Overachievers just came into the library and I’m looking forward to starting it tonight.)
