Interesting article about debt and today's young. The connection to the French students was interesting. But today's young are not organized to make a political block. If college students throughtout the USA organized, they could become quite a political force. The students would be taken serious on student loan reform and health insurance after graduation in rerlation to the many entry level jobs that do not have health care. The French students were committed to their cause , and organized. But times may be changing. The 2008 election may prove me wrong. I hope so.
My new book, DIY U:Edupunks, Edupreneurs and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education (buy it here), will be published by Chelsea Green in April 2010. I'm a staff writer for Fast Company Magazine and the author of the book Generation Debt. I've written Generation Debt columns for the Village Voice and as a featured Yahoo! Finance expert.
