A10) Know that college isn't for everyone!! Trades are in higher demand than in previous years. Diversify your friend group and your hobbies. Get uncomfortable!! You may find a skill you are good at that can lead to a career. Also be kind to yourself and others :) #CreditChat

A7: If you’re considering moving out with a roommate, you need to discuss how much you both can afford and how you plan to split the rent, utilities, and other shared expenses. Have that conversation before you actually move in with them to avoid any issues. #CreditChat

A5. If college is not in your future then consider trade schools or tech bootcamps with job placement guaranteed. The cost of education is much lower and it takes less time than a four-year degree.#creditchat

A9. Talk with your student about finances at home! It can be so hard. Talk about the things you have to buy regularly; goals that the family could save for; things the family could cut; and things that you as an adult were surprised by when you became independent. #CreditChat
