21% of Surveyed Borrowers Would Go Back in Time and Not Get a Degree to Avoid Student Loans
A good 43.5 million Americans owe money in student debt form. And the average borrower has a balance of over $37,000.
Based on this, it's easy to see why student debt is so unbelievably stressful. And it's also easy to see why too much of it could lead to a world of regret.
In a recent survey by New York Life, respondents were asked if they would have done anything differently to avoid taking on student debt. And 21% said that if they could go back in time, they'd have skipped college and avoided getting a degree to not have to deal with student loans. Ouch.
