Graduates: The Alternative Education System

A Guide to Getting Out of Debt and into the Real World

Welcome, Graduates! Congratulations on completing your Alternative Education. Now, let's get real about the state of your finances.

After years of avoiding math class and dreaming of being a professional snail trainer, you're finally out in the world with a degree in Handmade Pottery and a crippling amount of student loans.

You've got options. You can:

• Default on your loans and move to a remote island with a strong internet connection
• Start a business selling artisanal candles made from recycled materials
• Apply for a job as a professional snail trainer (it's a real thing, we swear)

Or, you can do what most people do: move back in with your parents and eat Cheetos for dinner.

Either way, it's time to get real about your financial situation. Visit our Subpages for more information on:
