Dear Editor,
I’ve been very fortunate to work with college students since leaving UCSD. Some are savers, but most are spenders.
College students are supposed to have the brightest minds, but the fact of the matter is that no business can survive without sales alone. This includes our great university, where some of you have gone into extraordinary debt for a piece of paper with facsimile signatures.
Most of you have credit-card debt or a college loan. Purchasing things on impulse or in bulk to save later on things in this day and age has been proven to be a poor business decision.
I advise you to learn to distrust anybody wearing a tie who seems nice and suggests you spend your money. The next time someone recommends a second checking account or gives you an option for paper or plastic, please say, ‘No, thank you.’
