Veteran and business owner leaves behind helpful student loan guide: book review

Retired Air Force Colonel David Shutler wanted to create a book people like him could have used when talking to high schoolers about picking and paying for post secondary education.

Colonel Shutler (pictured) did that with his book, “Graduate Debt Free,” but he died last fall before he could see the fruits of his work fully realized.

The College Fix obtained a copy of the book through a publicity firm.

The book provides a helpful way for parents to consider the true cost of student loans and how to avoid or at least minimize their use. Shutler, a small business owner and licensed attorney, applied his experience to this book.
