[quote=Anonymous]Why should you save for college? Because learning for learnings sake is important (college, believe it or not, is not meant to be vocational or technical school) Because your child may be more interested in helping others (Social Worker) or working for something they passionately believe in (non profit NGO or arts organization or political policy group) which all have crappy salaries, and with school loans, they'll be paying on them for decades Because you love your child and can afford to give them the choices in life you did not have Just for fun, following your own theory that you shouldn't pay for college, what happens if your child chooses NOT to attend because they'd don't want the debt, or, sense that you do not value a college degree (that is my take)? Studies show those with only a HS degree earn far less over their lifetime than those who earn a college degree. Is this what you want for your child?[/quote]
