Read this in the news:

Michelle Obama told a group of high school students and parents on Wednesday not to let financial concerns stand in the way of a college education as she urged them to apply for federal student aid.

“Fill out those forms, fill them out!” Mrs. Obama exhorted. “Don’t leave money on the table.”

Mrs. Obama spoke at T. C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va., a few miles outside Washington, as deadlines approach for college-bound students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as Fafsa. She made her remarks at a school workshop held to help students with the online forms.

“For those of you who might be wondering why the first lady is here just to watch you fill out a computer form, it’s because completing this form is a critical start to completing your education,” Mrs. Obama said to a few dozen high school seniors and parents.

“Unfortunately, too many students don’t even bother to apply to college because they don’t think they’ll ever be able to afford it,” she added. “So they just walk away from the opportunity without getting any advice or seeking any support.”

Do not take out loans if you can't afford them - find other ways to earn an education.

Yes, many people have loans - most are not pursuing jobs in the field that they studied.
Yes, go to school but gov. loans are bad news.
