I'd imagine immigrants aren't so laden with debt, so they have more freedom. Many countries don't charge their native students for higher education, those that do, are often subsidised and repayments are linked to their earnings. So if you earn a small salary, you pay nothing.
- senthil_rajasek 16y agoRight, debt is the burden that keeps all americans from becoming job creators. I am scared to think of what would happen if I don't repay my student loans.
- usaar333 16y agoI don't imagine this being that large of problem this is with majors like computer science. By going to a public school and interning during the summer (maybe even part time during the year), you can easily come out debt free (if not positive).
- alextgordon 16y agoYes but percentage of CS students actually finish with low debt? I would imagine it's lowish.
- usaar333 16y agoI'd love to see the numbers. At my alma matter (Berkeley), I imagine it was quite high. Not so much due to the high paying internships (which do help limit the burden), but because CS students on average tended to come from quite affluent households.
