Two years at a community college, two years at a university.
I worked for a corporation who paid for my college classes. That was sweet.
“My 2nd child chose”
Nope. If it’s your money, then you chose it.
I understand your logic that it is my/husbands choice. He has worked extremely hard through high school achieving high honors throughout his years. He did this since he knew that this was the school he wanted to attend.
From what I know of this school the employment rate is extremely high. Companies seek out these students almost from the start (freshman) giving them internships over the summer. I am hoping that this is the case, although I know just how bad the economy is. I am one of those unemployed that is finding it downright impossible to find a job.
I however was never able to attend college. Jobs postings nowadays require a college education. Maybe I’ll have to go back when I’m done sending my kids.
That is what I tell young people to do nowadays. Find a company that will pay for it. Hospitals, for instance, will often pay for a nursing degree for a competent Nursing Aide.
And I ALWAYS tell them do a community college first, unless mom and dad really are loaded or they have a great scholarship.
But there are careers that require special schools. For instance, vet science. But even that might support your argument, because after two years at a cheaper college, often kids decide their heart’s desire is something totally different.
I started out in art, went to a tech trade, and ended up in the advanced sciences. I guess I’m what you call well rounded. (In more ways than one, but that’s a different subject).
