Albeit a long time ago, I graduated debt free with $7.49 to my name. I paid most of it. My parents helped some. My wife was the same. We worked and put our earnings toward college.
We have four adult kids. Two have associates degrees. One is taking her bachelors at an online school and paying the entire bill herself. The other is considering getting her degree and will also pay most or all herself.
Number three is a senior Aerospace engineering student. Hard science, so we support loans. Most of what he owes is to us. He has some scholarships, a few thousand in student loans too. Not much. His college job at NASA actually has tuition reimbursement.
Play the game right, you don’t need to come out of school laden with debt.
First step is to pursue a degree in something other than oppressed minority social justice warrior perpetual grievance faggotry studies ...
You’re a little bit right and a little bit wrong. There was a time not very long ago that an average kid with a good solid summer job and maybe part time work during the year could pay their way through State School.
The unjustified explosion of tuition rates have made that nearly impossible today
Have you looked at the average tuition costs now?
My niece is graduating. When tuition is $60K a year, you can’t work and go to school
