Most students (nor parents, if they are involved) don&#39;t consider their long term financial goals when they enter college or graduate school and the &quot;financial counseling&quot; required by the federal government is a joke. Anyway, great blog!

I could get behind colleges who appoint independent, unbiased and adequately qualified financial advisers but it feels very untoward appointing a man with such controversial views and commercial intentions.

When kids (and parents) are taking on loans and spending a lot of money for an education, yet possibly facing a very tough job market (or more money spent on grad school), it does make money a more salient topic. I&#39;m glad to see more attention on this subject for students. Let&#39;s hope that many are paying attention.

I don&#39;t think Dave Ramsey isn&#39;t worth checking out but he&#39;s very one track... there doesn&#39;t seem to be much ability to personalize the situation and make it work for you... as a student I would have been very frustrated in his class...<br /><br />I have noticed the same thing recently (granted I&#39;m also a student so Google may just be tailoring to me too) and I really like the shift from the usual fluffy college articles...

Dave Ramsey.<br /><br />College is supposed to be a place for academic exploration of concepts. Having DR teach personal finance in a college setting is, in my opinion, analogous to having a priest teach about reproduction.<br /><br />It just doesn&#39;t make sense.

His advice has been life changing for us as a family. You should check him out; you will be amazed at what you learn.

There does seem to be a trend going on. I wonder if it has something to do with the skyrocketing student loan debt and the continuing sluggish economy. At least there are resources readily available for students. Little House http://www.littlehouseinthevalley.com [email protected]
