The share of young adults living with their parents is at its highest rate in 75 years, reports Quartz. In 2016, 33% of 25-29 year-olds lived with their parents or grandparents, nearly three times the figure in 1970.

College alternatives are gaining steam. As student debt burdens climb, more college-bound seniors are considering options like MissionU, a one-year data analytics program that combines skills coursework with apprenticeships. Instead of paying tuition, MissionU grads pay a portion of their income to the school for a few years after graduation. 10,000 students have applied for just 50 spots, reports The Wall Street Journal. Such programs are appealing to students who are wary of taking out loans for a degree that may not immediately translate to a career. • Share your thoughts: #CollegeAlternatives"
