I paid for my son’s Associate’s degree. He knew his Bachelor’s and law school were on him.
He found a great school for his BA, got an academic scholarship, but still needed funding for food, housing, and tuition.
We were going to have to co-sign on a loan for $34K for the next 2 years.
It broke my heart to tell him we could not. He switched to a local campus so our share after the scholarship is just $1,500 a semester.
Sorry, I don’t have compassion for people who major in underwater basket weaving or lesbian dance theory. I don’t want to be on the hook for someone else’s kids. I have 3 of my own.
We have 7 children, four so far graduating without any loan debt due to our help and their wise choices on affordable schooling and their own work during college. Our so is graduating in Construction Mangement with a great career ahead, looking at very good income potential. He is totally po’ed at what is happening, considering the sacrices he and we made while others took loans for worthless degree. Conservative for life now.
Now wait a minute....lesbian dance theory really helped me. I felt so centered & so unemployed ; )
