WLBZ interviews students about student loan debt
WLBZ (Channel 2) interviewed several University of Maine students about whether they think college debt is worth the investment. According to a recent CNBC report, more than 44 million Americans have student debt. The debt for people in their 20s averages about $22,000, WLBZ reported. Most of the students the station spoke with said the debt is worth it because they believe the career fields they are entering will allow them to pay off their loans, according to the report.
