[quote=Anonymous]Go to in-state school or even better, start in CC with credits earned in high school. Time is money. Then transfer to state school that costs $17k-$20k max. Make yourself independent by supporting yourself and filing your own taxes. My kid makes $40+ an hour, files taxes independently, gets a refund, pays for CC, and has money left over. No tax on tips. DC, 19, opened a Roth IRA and invests everything extra in regular investment account. Grownup life has already started. No need to waste 4 years taking out loans. It's not the school, it's the person and what they do. I believe he can scale back from work at age 35. He is not a spender. He won't have student loans from age 18 until forever, and don't have to save for retirement from age 35 on. So many cool ways to get a the life going. Screw expensive schooling. [/quote]
