Financing A College Degree

According to unpublished data obtained by The Chronicle, one in every five government loans that entered repayment in 1995 has gone into default. The default rate is higher for loans made to students from two-year colleges, and higher still, reaching 40 percent, for those who attended for-profit institutions.

Perhaps now is the time to reconsider entrepreneurship, which can entail rethinking college, or at least rethinking the degrees that will produce the skills that future employers want (according to a new report).
