[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son graduated from a private, parochial school with a 2.7 GPA. Went to ODU, which cost us about $100K for everything (may be a bit less). Struggled the first year (COVD) but graduated with a 3.5 GPA and a degree in business and IT.  Also grew up a lot in college.

I think if I had not sent him to college he would have floundered his way through his late teens and early 20s. He is absolutely better off for going to school and I believe it will cost us less money in the long run because he is self sufficient with a good degree. [/quote]

Yeah I agree with this - one of your kids has a B average OP, they aren't failing. Really?? you want to set them up for only low wage option jobs (unless they are truly interested and would thrive in trade school which is a good option but you haven't mentioned interest there). Not every kid needs to have a 4.0. B average kids can do well in jobs and can grow up a lot in college. Tell them the bounds of the budget, maybe that is in-state schools and support them in finding a school that is a good fit for them. [/quote]
