[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is also a social disconnect that isn’t discussed. The system assumes that parents who happen to be high-income for many years also went to college and that it has occurred to those parents to save for college. Well, in my case, there is no way it ever would or did dawn on my consistently upper-middle income parents to open a college savings account. They did not go to college themselves and neither did my siblings. I arrived to senior year of high school with zero college savings and ended up starting at a community college. My EFC was in the $40,000s. That is how people end up in those debt situations despite being meritorious. [/quote] No dude. There's not a whole lot of upper middle income (consistently!) people who didn't go to college themselves and hadn't a clue to save some money for college for their kids. :shock: Plus, if you were truly the first in your family to go to college and were so meritorious, you would have qualified for many 1st-in-the-family-to-attend-college scholarships. Those abound for people like you. Go get a job, be consistently upper middle income yourself (ask your parents how), and pay back your loans.[/quote] Those “scholarships” are only if you’re low-income as well. [/quote]
