Fiscal Responsibility

I'd have to say, the financial fair at Wright State University had a pretty good turnout. Students got a chance to speak with a number of different people like the Better Business Bureau, the IRS, and the Attorney General's Office. This was a good chance for folks who've been victims of identity theft to speak to professionals about their experience. Also, this was a great chance to shore up your security and fight becoming another statistic of ID theft.

Identity theft wasn't the only subject broached at this event. Knowing how to save money was a key topic as well. We hear and see college students signing up for credit cards, often times to get the free gear. That's probably the biggest pitfall a college student makes in their career. I would say don't sign up for a credit card unless you have a good job to pay off the balance.
