Which is one of the reasons I predict more Americans will choose to study abroad, and foreign universities tap into the US student market.

The student loan debt is troubling.

But, students and families have to be realistic about things.

Students should focus on majors which help them into job and career paths, in my opinion.

Why major in women’s studies, for example? Studying women may be fascinating in some ways, but, how many jobs look for women’s studies majors as a qualification?

It may make sense to take on student loan debt, if you are getting a degree in a field which leads to a good paying career. But it makes no sense to take on debt, to major in women’s studies, or history, or many other areas which won’t qualify you for a job at which you earn high enough pay to pay off that student loan.

Some observers have said that tuition and fees have risen dramatically in recent years, precisely because of the availability of student loan funds to pay the freight.

Is that going to be any cheaper?
