In fact, the average student loan debt for Class of 2017 graduates was $39,400*-- up six percent from the previous year.  You’ve probably heard the other scary statistic: Americans owe over $1.48 trillion dollars in student loan debt. That’s about $620 billion dollars more than the total of all U.S. credit card debt!
