The typical college graduate will leave campus this month owing nearly as much money as they stand to earn in their first year of full-time employment, new research shows. At a personal level, graduates toting up their private and government student loans, credit card balances, and personal debt will find the sum shocking. On average, they owe $35,200 and half say they are surprised by how much debt they have accumulated, according to a Fidelity Investments Cost-Conscious College Graduates Study。
At a broader level, this debt has far-reaching implications for the economy as young people
with starting pay of $44,455 spend much of it servicing debt—not buying cars and homes or beginning to save for retirement or emergencies. Some 70% of college grads have loans; many
won’t pay them off for a decade。

普通高校的学生将在这个月离校就业,最新研究表明,他们就业第一年所得的薪酬将基本与他们所欠的债务相当。
在个人阶层,当毕业生将个人信贷与政府信贷、信用卡余额和个人债务总和起来时,会发现他们的债务总额惊人的高。据富达高校毕业生投资成本意识研究显示,大学毕业生平均每人欠款352000美元,他们中半数人表示自己十分惊讶于积累下来的高额债务。
在更广泛的层面上,这个债务对于经济有着深远的影响,因为底薪为44455美元的青年人可能会将大部分钱用来还债,而不是买车买房或是为养老及意外事故而存钱。约70%的大学生是有债务的,而大多数的人在十年之内是无力偿还的。
