Good Article on Student Loan Risks

[ScholarshipGuy]

I'm glad that student loans are available, but I also think that its best to use them as an absolute last resort. 

There's a good article about the risks of student loans here.

The author advocates a similar strategy to the one I'm pursuing:  Instead of getting a graduate degree, he's to starting his own business.   I also saved a lot of money in undergraduate school by attending a local university and putting up with living at home for as long as I could.  There are definitely times and situations where it could be worth it to take out loans, but make sure you try all the alternatives first.
