AMOO: How Do You Pay For College?

Today's editorial discusses the high cost of higher ed.

College costs are increasingly borne by students and their families, and tuition hikes easily outstrip inflation and wage gains.
Nowadays, diplomas and debt go hand in hand.

When we met with the HEC Board, and when we discussed it among our editorial board later, we talked about how (relatively speaking) college could be in the "old days."

Question: Which leads us to our question today: How did you pay for college? Did you go into debt? Was it worth it?
