[quote=Anonymous]What surprises me is how in the Awesomely Average Kids FB group there are seemingly a lot of families with kids who have B / C+ averages and lower SATs and they are going to colleges with merit (?) or just fully paid. So it makes me wonder what the parents do for a living everywhere around the US that they can afford to drop that amount for school. I'm a 1st Gen college graduate in my family and I have had a great career, but even I was gobsmacked when I started realizing the true cost of college compared to the 90s when I was in school. I literally had no idea how fast the costs had outpaced COL. Fortunately we have funds via cash flow to pay for kids to go to school, but not crazy money for a private. It's worrisome to see how kids are saddled with debt. How will the next generation get to go on to a higher education? [/quote]
