Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) March 17, 2007

CollegeGrad.com, the #1 entry level job site, today released its survey results on how long college students anticipate it will take them to pay off their student loans. 51% of student loan recipients say it will take them more than 10 years to pay off their student loans. That’s a 5% increase compared to two years ago.

Considering the increase in interest rates for federal student loans, combined with the ever-increasing sticker price of a college education, it’s not surprising that students are faced with larger student loan bills upon graduation, and a lengthier payback period.

“The financial demands being placed upon college graduates are increasing,” said Brian Krueger, President of CollegeGrad.com. “Being saddled with debt after college is a primary driver to finding a post-graduation job early.”

With only a six-month grace period before having to begin payments on their loans, it is critical for graduates to quickly begin earning a steady income. Graduates are faced early-on with some of the tough financial realities of the real world. Krueger points out, “having a steady income is important for future financial success. It affects credit records and the ability to take out loans for things such as buying a car or a house.”

Students often receive loans from a variety of institutions. Upon graduation, they are typically faced with not just one student loan bill, but a set of multiple bills. A popular student response is to consolidate their loans, which will roll all of their high-interest payments into one lower interest monthly bill.

Students have an opportunity to start off on the right financial footing by having a job offer in-hand by the time they graduate. CollegeGrad.com is a great first stop for entry level job seekers. Job seekers can use the resume templates to create or update their resume, research more than 300 entry level career fields, and apply directly to relevant entry level positions by visiting the CollegeGrad.com job board.

Following are the overall survey results:

How long will it take to pay off your student loans?

I have no loans – 30%


Less than 5 years – 13%

5-10 years – 21%

More than 10 years – 36%

The survey was conducted nationally using an online poll placed on the CollegeGrad.com home page during February, 2007. The results are based on more than 1300 respondents.

Online Business Relationships Expert Scott Allen Partners with LinkedIn to Offer Best Practices Training for Most Popular Business Networking Tool

August 11th, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in News

Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 17, 2004 -

Â? Scott Allen, the leading educator on building quality business relationships online, announced today the launch of Â?LinkedIn UnleashedÂ? teleclasses and web seminars. Co-developed with LinkedIn, the classes offer insight into the best practices of LinkedIn members who have used it successfully to accelerate their business and advance their careers.

With over 600,000 registered users, LinkedIn has rapidly become the most popular tool for business professionals to gain visibility into their existing business network and leverage those relationships to hire employees, find clients/jobs and open doors for business partnerships. LinkedIn facilitates over a million searches and over 25,000 business referrals every month.

Â?ItÂ?s easy to master the basics of LinkedIn,Â? says Allen, Â?but learning how to effectively apply it to your business needs may not be so obvious. Just because something is simple on the surface doesnÂ?t mean that youÂ?re utilizing it to its fullest extent. Take Google, for example. Could there be an easier tool? And yet there are dozens of books on practical tips for using it to solve real-world needs. ThatÂ?s what weÂ?re doing hereÂ?moving beyond the basics and showing users how to realize business value from LinkedIn.Â?

LinkedIn VP of Marketing Konstantin Guericke believes this is a natural next step for LinkedIn. Â?As more and more professionals are relying on LinkedIn as an essential business tool, we plan to do everything we can to help our customers be successful in their use of LinkedIn, and offering this training is a key part of that plan.Â?

Allen delivered a successful pilot teleclass in April to rave reviews. Â?This was an excellent class with good depth on the most important topics,Â? said one attendee. Â?This is the best documentation on LinkedInÂ?s practical uses that I’ve seen thus far.Â? Guericke also has high praise for Allen: Â?His extensive research in this area brings a depth to the class that attendees really appreciated. We definitely chose the right person for this project.Â?

The classes will begin May 26 and will be offered 1-2 times per month. For registration or more information, visit http://www.OnlineBusinessNetworks.com/linkedin-teleclass77.php .

Why Network Marketing For A Work From Home Business Opportunity?

Network Marketing is a subject that always gets me excited. And rightly so, with so many benefits we can get as part of MLM Marketing opportunities. However, people often say why Network Marketing? There are many reasons why Multilevel Marketing is a great opportunity, whatever happens, whether you succeed in the business model or not.


Network Marketing is a business model which was born about the 1950′s. And since it started being called MLM and later changing to be called Network Marketing has been a fountain of wealth for many people. In fact, more millionaires have been created in the US than any other model of business. This is an amazing fact, and a fact which when we consider if someone else has achieved success, then you can succeed in Network MLM Marketing as well is simply amazing.


Consider the win – win of this model. Whether you succeed in MLM or not. Network Marketing gives many people an easy accessible way to start a home business. This makes Network Marketing a great home business opportunity to consider, as the needed investment to get started is usually same as going to a restaurant or a concert. Whatever your level of knowledge about business, Network Marketing gives you the ability to learn the possibilities of what is possible and also teaching you the necessary skills on running a business. This alone makes the multilevel marketing home business opportunities a win – win situation.


Network Marketing home business opportunities are also a great way to network and gain people skills. It is not like going into education where the payoff is later, though generally the huge payoff in this type of work from home business comes, when you master the networking and marketing aspects, and the necessary parts to make your home business a success. With MLM Network Marketing you will find that your results are your scorecard. More you study and apply, more you will succeed.


Many people shun away from the extra learning necessary as part of Network Marketing, and this makes these types of businesses to get a bad name on occasion. Most people simply want to join and expect the membership to be the only way to make their dreams possible. Understand that Multi Level Marketing principles are easy, however, success is not so easy, it takes time and commitment, and this is where many will fail.


Success in Network Marketing is pretty much learning your strengths and weaknesses, being creative and utilizing a system that is proven to work. Most people don’t realize that if someone has achieved the goals you would like to achieve in your multilevel marketing home business opportunity, then it is fully possible that you can with the same Network Marketing training material.


I was recently researching the average salary range for people in Network Marketing and found that the average was 0,000. Now that is a good figure and one which many would not achieve if they where working for someone else. The MLM model also allows a framework where you can be free to do what you want to do. You could set up another business when you become successful at Network Marketing. Being part of a home business opportunity gives you access to some real gems. These people you can help and turn them from uncut diamonds to diamonds. If you are not a cut diamond yet, then you can gain the help of your up-line.


Your up-line is your coach, motivator, and helper in times of need. They have been in the opportunity a lot longer then you, and know what works. Your up-line can really help you keep in check, with realistic and ever growing goals, and also make sure you are taking action.


More and more people are joining Network Marketing opportunities as they prove an easy route into business. In the Asian markets and countries where income is low, the Network Marketing model of business is helping many achieve a kind of success which most others could not dream of. The doorway of Network Marketing is one that can work for you, as long as you find one that you find you feel passionate or at least excited about the product or service.
