In my real life, I conduct financial aid nights at local schools all over the area. In the last 23 years I have become jaded about higher education and now support the Mike Rowe philosophy of college being a scam for a lot of people. A good deal of jobs out there don't require a degree to do the job. Do employers require them? Sure, but that doesn't mean they're necessary. And considering costs have gone up on average 5-6% every year is absurd. Most people can't put enough money into their 529 plans to pay for college without loans. Do the schools care? Of course not. As long as they keep getting their money, they couldn't care less where it comes from.As a parent currently writing checks for his second college student, I couldn’t care less what the university is making.
That money is a godsend for players not on full scholarship, and most aren’t no matter what their goofy parents claim.
If you can get our kid out of school without too much debt you are doing great.
If you are a parent with a young kid reading this, I hope you can find a way to start saving for school NOW. It helps a lot.
If this helps people keep their costs down, I'm all for it.
