Help! How do navigate the world of Student Loans as first-generation college student?

[NicholasRogersOffici]

I've got tech degree under my belt, and I'm navigating the code jungle here in Atlanta as software engineer. Having walked this path from classroom to cubicle, thought I'd share some bits about managing student loans, particularly for my first-gen college students out there. Remember what it was like, stepping onto Georgia Tech's campus. Exciting, nerve-racking. And then there were those pesky student loans. Never had to deal with something like that before! It's like they handed you Rubik's cube and said, "Here. Solve this. You know what? It ain't rocket science. Seriously! Okay, and quick tip consider studying in-state. That’s another smart way to cut down on the debt pileup. Trust me on this one; my pocket definitely felt the difference! Gosh, did already miss my chance to impart some of the wisdom from my old codger days? Just kidding. But seriously, how do you guys plan to manage your the college?
