I realize that HN frowns on +1 types of comments. But I nevertheless feel obliged to add that I laughed my ass off watching that video. The woman that did the video has a great sense of humor.

I had the same thought. As an undergraduate, I went to some of the interesting-sounding seminars given by grad students. It was a great way to get to learn something interesting and also get to know your professors. I have to admit, howev

I'm no expert on the topic, but it seems likely to me that there is a significant number of people defaulting on student loans but did not finish their degree program. I'd also speculate that the people who did complete their deg
