Since I seem to ALWAYS be confused and scared of debt I must ask this community a question(s). This thread may be updated for a short time as well so keep up with me if ud like to assist a random person out.

My main question is simply this; does it necessarily which University/College you graduate from? Has anyone on here graduated from a "no namer" meaning a school that is young or is a local influence (like Perimeter, or my hometown Shawnee) I'm asking cuz I'm trying to graduate with as little debt as possible. UNLESS it just doesnt matter cuz its unavoidable.

I'm asking those who are a lil older 26+ that are in their careers. Because I am very shaky on this and am actually really scared of debt. So please post and lmk a lil somethin bout this. My school doesnt offer what I need and I'm lookin for answers.

Thats all and thanks for reading this.
I'll try to help you out.

A. I went to the University of Georgia (I don't like small schools and I firmly believe in the *college experience* of sorts) and graduated in '99, so I'm well into my career.

B. Debt is going to happen. My fiancee took 8 or 9 years to get her bachelor's degree ($45,000 total in debt). She is now working on her Masters in Education and will be another $20-25k in debt after that is done (Figure $70,000 total). Oh well, we'll just pay it off.

Debt is going to happen. Just wait til you sing your life away for a $300,000 house or a $40,000 car (both not untypical in today's day and age).
