Chasing Zeroes: the Rise of Student Debt, the Fall of the College Ideal, and One Overachiever's Misguided Pursuit of Success
Laura Newland
Laura Newland's generation has worked the hardest to gain admission to elite colleges and paid the most to attend. But when Newland left her Alabama hometown and arrived at Duke University, she found a liberal arts campus unlike anything depicted in those glossy guidebooks. The hypercompetitive battle for internships begins freshman year, and the economic pressures--student loans, the daunting cost of graduate degrees, high unemployment--are relentless. This perfect storm, brewing on campuses across the country, has fueled a Wall Street recruiting machine that is winning over the best and the brightest. In no time, Newland was seduced.
From Newland's turbulent four years comes a provocative story of the higher education industry; the tension between ambition and indebtedness, privilege and purpose; and one student's journey to make sense of it all.
