You spent $75,000 a year for over 4 years for your son’s college education? That’s insane unless he earned a degree in a field that pays a lot of money so he can pay you back.

My nephew went to community college for 2 years, then state college for 2 more years. He lived at home and worked part time. He has zero debt and a job that pays over $100,000.

Exactly. I fail to understand the mentality that it is the parents responsibility to pay for their adult children’s higher education.

They are adults and should be making adult decisions. Too many college kids are suffering delayed adolescence and the colleges enable that.

Only one of mine did the traditional four year college routine. His college had apartments, not dorms. Want to eat? There’s the kitchen.

No sports teams sucking up cash. Very little extracurricular nonsense and almost no PC garbage. Engineering students learning to be engineers. No fluff classes and fluff degrees. 500 students.

The school has a 90 day employment guarantee upon graduation. They almost never pay out.

He had a job in two weeks and two interviews.
