Seventy percent of students in the College class of 2013 are graduating with an average of $35,200 in credit and student loan debt. Only 30% are graduating debt-free. If they had a better understanding of debt when starting College, 39% said they would have made different choices. That's a 14% jump from the same survey in 2011. Likely thanks to the crushing blow of the Great Recession, more students said they considered the "hireability" factor of different majors –– 57% said they picked their major based on their prospects of finding a high-paying job.
