My tuition costs in 1995 were $2500/year for an engineering degree. So given the numbers the OP used, he would be wrong.
In today's environment, however, I might be inclined to agree. When I went to school, I could get a minimum wage job for the summer, and pay for tuition and dorm fees for the year. Education costs are wildly out of whack and something needs to be done to cut down these costs, because at this rate, I will NOT send my two kids to college. I'll tell them to open up a business or something, because it's simply not worth it.
- smt88 9y agoYou should check the ROI on starting a business. That's one of the most common ways to lose your entire investment. If your kids are smart, they'll likely have little trouble going somewhere for free. Even Norway or Germany would be options.
- adjkant 9y agoFinancial aid, scholarships, or community college followed by 2 years at a known school is still pretty worth it. Example: You can go to the University of Alabama on an automatic full tuition scholarship if you have high enough standardized test scores. It's not the only one with a similar program.
