Thanks Captain Obvious!
Technically, they don’t get their parent’s money’s worth.
My son got his BSEE from Western Carolina University two years ago....
His cost was about $8K/year plus living expenses....
His current job started him at $93K plus a company truck....a fully loaded F-150 crew cab with leather air-conditioned seats....
He could have gone to Georgia Tech....but why?
The solution is to simply get the federal government out of education entirely. Our tax dollars are paying for leftist professors to bloviate about "big business."

Many colleges are practically free, especially in Canada and Europe. Then there’s apprenticeships, OJT, the military, non-traditional schooling, shadowing, start-ups, etc., etc...
S.F STATE-Late 70’s. $100 per semester for tuition. Then came Prop 103. Now the place has posters all over having to do with political correctness.
Depends on what you get your degree in. An English literature or history or “women’s studies” major isn’t going to land you a high paying job. While a nursing or engineering or medical degree will pay pretty well.
It’s not 1940 anymore, Phyllis.
The worth of a college education depends upon the degree earned, the institution, and the diligence of the student.
Pick well, and it works out dandy, well worth the cost.
Speaking from experience, my own and my kids’.
From Michigan State University:
Every job I have had (except Army) has required a college degree. I have never said on my resume, interview or anywhere that I have a degree. It has never come up in an interview or employer related discussion.
As with most job Requirements, it is a bogus requirement that is only used to be a way to reject an applicant when the employer does not want to state the real reason for the rejection. (person is ugly, body odor, etc).
In the 1940s, the number of people with a college degree was quite low compared to the general population, hence, a college degree was a pretty good step toward a better income. Today, everybody and their brother has a sheet from Point-And-Click University and the economic worth is much lower.
$100 per semester!
That price was for only those with White Privilege.....it’s a micro-aggression!
Running for my safe space now....
Federal aid to education was “supposed” to reduce student debt. The opposite happened, but I don’t think the American people will ever figure it out. In fact, I suspect that tens of millions would say more federal aid to education is the answer!
Doesn’t this always happen when the government sticks it’s nose in?
My second son, a National Merit Scholarship finalist, plans to take the Industrial Equipment Mechanic course at our local community college next year. He wants to be financially independent sooner rather than later.
Not everyone needs to go to to a college or university.
Colleges and universities have become a money-making scam industry. It’s sad. Meanwhile, people who go to a trade school are often looked down upon by their peers and our nation has lost its manufacturing sector. Why? Personally I think it’s because the left wants as many kids on campus as possible for their indoctrination purposes.
“Not everyone needs to go to to a college or university.”
Agree 100%
