Forget that degree, start your business now.   The article says that many students are indebted to Sallie Mae after getting a degree that does not add value to the present job of the graduate.  What are the signs that the system is broken:  on line courses, boot camps, seminars, etc.

If you start now, you get a number of experiences that compounds -  networks, connection and experience that builds up to make you a better person and businessman.

Start now, Start being in business. Start while single without a family and other obligations
