Debt, Credit Lessons for College Students
By Bill Hardekopf

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's almost time for your high school graduate to leave for college. Talking with your son or daughter about budgets, credit cards and the dangers of debt should be part of the preparation in sending them off into a life on their own.

Credit cards represent freedom and independence for college students, especially that first year when living away from home is new and exciting. The more they understand about the correct use of credit and its consequences, the more responsibly they can handle it. Money management is not a skill they should learn from their friends or by making mistakes.

What has changed? As of Feb. 22, the CARD Act began limiting credit options for students under age 21. While the regulations protect students from aggressive credit card marketing on campus, the law also restricts credit availability for students. If you are under 21 and want to open a credit card account, you will need to show you are financially able to make payments, or you will need a co-signer.

Young entrepreneurs push marketing’s edge

Four young entrepreneurs — three recent college graduates and one student — own and run five businesses from a single office on Commonwealth Avenue. It’s an unconventional operation for any group of business owners, much less one where the average age is 21. This summer it got even odder: They started filming an online reality series about their day-to-day dealings as a way to draw attention to their companies.

SAT scores follow-you for life!!!!

PARENTS & STUDENTS: SAT scores follow-you for life!!!!

I’m sourcing for a job & it’s for seniors graduating college but who I invite is based off High School SAT Scores & College GPA. It's not for every industry but some! You can argue whether it’s fair, just or not. I have a diagnosed learning disability so I know the challenges of taking tests personally.

BOTTOM LINE: SAT PREP SHOULD BE A MUST!!!!!

GO HARD!
