I Like This Finding

An interim finding from my wife’s doctoral thesis: the Latino kids she’s interviewing are universally reporting that their parents strongly discouraged them from taking on student loans. “If you can’t pay for it….” And so they didn’t — they worked to pay for their classes.
There’s very likely a generation of Hispanic/Latino youth, just graduating from college with a degree and no debt where their White/Asian/African-American counterparts are in debt to the gills as they walk across that stage.
