What nobody talks about is there is a process for social class advancement. Getting $120K in debt right out of the gate is not part of that process. Poor folks have to utilize community colleges and state colleges and even then, they may have to attend part-time. That's what I did. It's not glamorous and it's not the "all-American" college experience complete with extensive networking - but it will advance you to the next social class. Instill those values and "hacks" into your children and they'll be able to advance further. What you can't do is play the game as though you were already in the social class you're aspiring to. There's one set of well-known rules for them, another set of lesser-known rules for you.
