"Educating Rico": Student Loan Debt

Meet Rico Gagliano

Associate producer Rico Gagliano is back with another installment of our series, "Educating Rico." This time, our hero revisits the topic of student loan debt. Back in 2004, experts told him to consolidate his loans. Two years later, does that advice still hold?

Not a week goes by on this program when we don't get piles of listener questions about paying off student loans. Our Associate Producer Rico Gagliano feels your pain. He's got more than his share of educational debt. A couple years back, in an episode of our series "Educating Rico," he got some tips for chipping away at it. But the economic environment has changed, as it does. So this month, Rico gets re-educated about student loans. (Photo: Vince Winkel)
