Geof White: An Entrepreneurial Way to Pay for College
College debt not only prevents students from going to college, it blocks them from getting a life after college.

Geof White says "Yes!" and he gives step-by-step directions for how young people can sidestep these troubles and work for themselves in Lemonade Stand Economics. It's not just his imagination--young people are already putting the idea into practice.
