Well, the next sentence clarifies with "Take what you need and no more". Debt isn't all bad, it has it's uses, particularly when young and has got a lot of bad press these last few years.

If leveraged correctly, debt can be used to significant advantage.

I think the core point of the article stands. It's a bad idea to quit college for most, even if student loans are building up.
