As if the news about Disneyland's price hike weren't bad enough...
*70 percent* of this year's graduating class will leave school *with debt.*
And a lot of it... averaging more than 35-thousand dollars, according to fidelity investments.
The majority of students say... they definitely would have saved more beforehand... had they realized how BAD it would be.

On the bright side...
students who have summer internship experience, may see big pay-offs come graduation day.
according to The Wall Street Journal, researchers sent out ficticious resumes for a number of different jobs, with varying majors.
The resumes with "summer internships" fared better when it came time to get an interview.
Those applications with work experience were 14-percent more likely to score a face to face meeting.
