Nine soon-to-be college graduates gathered in Minnesota Public Radio's UBS Forum to discuss their job prospects, student loan burden and how the economy is affecting their life plans.

The event was hosted by MPR's Jeff Horwich. Bob Collins, creator of the News Cut blog, shared what he heard from students on his tour of colleges across the state.
