"I can make, like, twice what I'd make as a social worker waiting tables," she confided, "so I'm probably going to just stay here."

We have put two children through college. The problem with cost, as I see it, is the required courses. Both of my kids had to take classes to fulfill "diverse" and "social" credits. These classes had absolutely nothing to do with their degrees (both technical). If the University had required only classes that related to their degrees, the costs would have been much lower both in tuition and living expenses! Of course, I do live in Calif. and we MUST be diverse, doncha know!
