“It depends. I go to University of Florida, and tuition is cheap. I also get to use my GI Bill. Lastly, I’m going for Electrical Engineering...so I’d say yes for me.”
Funny, my oldest kid did something similar. No GI Bill (thank you for your service), but 2 years in Community College, then finished up with an engineering degree at a local state college. No debt, employers knocking, affordable tuition.
Bottom line - parents may not realize this (and most parents that I know don’t), but if they’re paying ANYTHING for junior’s college (or, God-forbid, co-signing loans), they hold veto power and absolute control over what junior does there - even though their kids are adults by then. Of course parents can go AWOL and just give the kids 10s of thousands of dollars and let them do what they want - but parents DO NOT have to. College, to me, is simply a glorified vocational school. The days of learning life’s deeper secrets were gone the minute liberals took them over.
I started off in Community College. Stayed there until I earned my AA, then transferred. Wound up saving some money, and got plenty of individual attention.
I read many of the classical literature books on my own...I don’t need to pay some dirty lib for his opinion. If you have a Kindle, you can go to Amazon.com, and they have hundreds of free books. Most of them are the classics.
