Tens of millions of Americans owe a combined $1.5 trillion in debt for student loans. Much of this staggering expense has been unnecessary; attending college is more of a tradition -- a cultural rite of passage than a necessary step towards a successful career, justifying its steep cost.

Filled with practical advice and action steps for teenagers and young adults, Skip College is a must-read for those looking to launch their career.
