[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, when did you go to college?  I think things have changed radically in just the last 5-10 years.  Read this great post to get an idea of the costs of even a "cheap" in-state school.

Even if you get a "real" degree, and actually find a job in your field, you are looking at a mountain of debt to pay off.  It's a sad situation and I am concerned about my ability for me or my son (or both of us) to pay for his education in 15 years.

It is a complete screw job for all of us.  The more money they keep doling out, the more schools/universities charge to attend.  This makes the cost of education increase exponentially for ALL of us.....even those of us socking away each year with hopes to be able to pay...the ball keeps moving in a drastic way.  I think the measures announced today don't address the finacial aid system  itself.  Much like the mortgage lenders, the financial aid officers are trained to overlook existing debt and ability to repay..they will advise families/children to assume more and more loan.  Yet another crisis looming in the future.[/quote]
