I’m working on a documentary about how college students are affected by the economic recession and I need a snappy title for it. You guys are the absolute best at witty, punny, or clever titles, so go crazy! I’ll throw in 50% of my profits\* from this project for whoever’s name I end up using. \*there will be no profits. ---

‘Young, Gifted and Broke’ is the first one that pops into my head. It’s a play on a 70s (?) pop song called ‘Young Gifted and Black’ and although it has been used before the only entries I can find are 10+ years old and UK specific. ---
