[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one's saying you can't save money. No one's saying you can't eventually get a good job.

Is CC what graduating HS students want to do? No. They've earned the opportunity to attend a 4 year college, immediately. It's parents that are taking that opportunity away. And parents can. Unless the student finds a work-around to finance it, parents can.[/quote]

Are you a teen or college-aged student? It sounds like it. Noone is suggesting parents take away anything from a kid. Sometimes this is all a family can afford. Sometimes a kid isn't ready to go away from home. Sometimes a kid has their heart set on a particular state school but has the unlucky fate of competing within NoVa demographics when the schools allot quotas per region. Unfair? Yes. IMO These schools should offer in state as a priority and OOS as last with a low percentage cap. Until then this might be the only way. My kid will apply to four year schools. Public and private, in VA and outside. DC can then decide where to attend. The idea of finishing an associates in a year, with AP and DE credits, is attractive, allowing a kid to get the BS done faster and on to graduate school. Saving 90k upwards is *completely* worth it to help lower debt burden as a young adult. Even my kid was amazed when they learned this.[/quote]
