Allyn Setran and her mom are checking on?Cal?State?Monterey?Bay (CSUMB), on her list of schools. and for her choosing a major is a balancing act between passion and economics
"All my band teachers were telling me, it's great that you want to be a music major, but I think you should major in something else," she said.
And she may not be alone. Bankrate.com combined tuition and job data in a new report looking at jobs that were the easiest to pay back student loans.
A?job in advertising takes the top spot with economist and civil engineering rounding out the top three.?All with an average of five to eight years to repay student loans.
Here are some ?jobs that don't do well with student loans. Towards the bottom of the list: full time teachers and librarians all with an average of 20 or more years to pack back the debt. Journalism is even worse,?it takes?journalists an average of 31 years, according to the report.?
Thomas Rogers, a career advisor at CSUMB,?says he wants to connect students with what they are good at and what they love to do--but he also keeps his students informed of the?lurking debt.
"Part of our job is to also to inform students about 'hey look this is going to take x number of years of school which is equally this number of years of debt'," said Rogers.
As for?Allyn, she's still in the market for a good major.
"I went into my junior college as undeclared and?I'll be going there in October and?I'll be taking a class called career planning so that will teach me what career will be right for me."
