Pick a College or a Major with Future Career in Mind

The other day I was consulting my cousin. She wants to come to the United States for higher studies. I did some research for her. This post is an output of that research. There are careers, high paying ones, that don’t require you to have a college degree.

On the other side, there are careers which do need an appropriate college degree? For me, I am from an orthodox family which always have advocated for education. Even knowing that career can be had without a degree. Even when my father didn’t have enough money to send me to college, he encouraged me to do so. Luckily the college I was admitted to had govt. subsidized education system.

As for my cousin, she’s been an excellent student all throughout her school. I am sure she’ll get scholarships as well. What about you? Or your son/daughter? How are you envisioning the career search? Will you go for your desire? Or, you’ll go for a career with a high potential for earning.

Each year, 20 million students attend college in the United States, and approximately sixty percent of those students borrow money to cover the expenses of tuition, textbooks and fees. With college being the first major financial decision many young adults make, you’d be surprised to find out how many are genuinely confused about the application process. Many do not consider that the amount borrowed and the interest rate of the loan could impact your finances for the rest of your adult life, long after college is over.

3 Ways to Shop Student Loan

For those who are confused, the basics are this: the average student takes out nearly $30,000 in student loans over four years. With an interest rate of 9% annually, the student can expect to pay nearly $15,700 in interest over ten years, if it took them ten years to pay off the loan. That is a lot of money in interest, over half of the original amount borrowed. The monthly payment on this amount would be $380, which is a lot for someone right out of school and making entry-level salary.
