[quote=Anonymous] You are mostly wrong, OP. 1. Most American kids pay a "reasonable" price for college, thanks to financial aid. 20K a year for a 4 year college, or 15 a year for community college. I acknowledge it constitutes debt, but hardly anyone pays private college sticker prices. 2. The added income that college graduate can earn still makes up for the difference in costs they incurred attending a 4 year institution. This is true on average for all degrees, but especially true for degrees in the hard sciences, and less so for Humanities degrees. 3. However you are entirely correct that families should avoid debt at all costs, and focus on "practical" degrees at prices they can afford. I refer you to the recent WaPo quiz (gift link) on the matter, which has very interesting data: https://wapo.st/45faenF [/quote]
