[quote=doodlebug]My parents didn't help out with college either. College isn't the be all end all. You can make money w/o a degree. So many people have degrees now that they're really pretty diluted unless you going into something very specific like nursing or engineering. A BA now is like a high school diploma was 30-40 yrs ago. Unless they go into one of the above mentioned specific fields, they might be worse off w/ a degree since they will have tons of debt and no increased earning power. That's what happened to me. I'd be better off w/o my degree money wise. There are lots of programs at community colleges that might give them better earning potential w/o huge debt...like plumbing, welding, computer science, and mechanic programs. Don't think just because someone goes to college, they're set for life...or that because they didn't go to college they'll be living in poverty. It's just not so.[/quote]
