[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you can look this up. Over the course of a working life the college grads will earn over $1 million more than non-college yards. So even a debt of $100K may be worth the investment. As a poster above said, however, [b]you need to choose a decent school and major[/b].[/quote] +1 For long-term financial success you need a college degree (or to complete a good trade apprenticeship). But kids need to think seriously about what their post-college career plans are and how to get there in a cost effective way. For example, my sister is a nurse and was accepted to U Penn's nursing program. But it would have cost far more than the good nursing program at a state college. She went to the state school and has had a very happy career in nursing, with no student loans to pay off. Hospital pay scales are pretty much the same regardless of where you graduate so it would have been ridiculous to pay so much more for that degree.[/quote]
