[quote=Anonymous]OP:  Affording college:

My uncle worked as a parking lot attendant at Univ of Penna so his kids could go for free if they got in.  They did. Then he went back to his regular job when they graduated.

My coworker quit her regular job and worked as a custodian at Univ. of Maryland  so her 3 kids could go for free to College Park. (all 3 in college at the same time!)  When the last one graduated, she went back to being a bilingual legal secretary again.

My niece is now 24 and about to start at UCLA.  She waited til her parents' income no longer counted on the  application.  She is getting fantastic scholarships, as she spent the last 5 years working in her intended field for little money but getting relevant  experience.

You gotta be strategic in your college planning. Most people in this country - yes in the U.S. -- do not make anywhere near 125K.

Thank goddess I went  to Georgetown in the 80s when tuition/fees (and maybe housing? don't remember) was about 7K.  That is 22K in today's dollars.  But the tuition today is about 70K.  Best to find other avenues  to finance college. Don't be a sucker and pay anywhere near that amount. [/quote]
