I know education is always a good thing, but is it worth having all this debt after you graduate? I have friends that all went to college some got associates degrees and some got bachelor's degrees. The one thing they all have in common they can't find work in this bad economy and have to find jobs just to keep up on college loan payments.

Write as many as you can think of. something that is just not worth it. from housekeeping in hotels (back pain, low pay, 16/30 rooms a day on average, chemicals), to porn movies(do i really have to say why? STDs as well), mines (depressing, very high risk of death) and those people who climb the tallest towers with little to no support, i think it was called stairway to heaven on youtube if you want to see what im talking about.
