[quote=Anonymous]I would much rather not pay for college immediately after HS than paying and the kid flounder/fail/doesn't want to go. Our rules if you didn't want to go to college. You had to either: 1. Get a FT job or 2 PT jobs (min 40 hrs/week) 2. Go to trade school FT 3. Go to community college FT 4. any the 2 above combinations part time They could live at home as long as they were doing one of these options. And we would reassess every 6 months to discuss plans/living arrangements/financial responsibility to the home/family. If a kid had chosen this path, they needed a financial plan to be out of our house by 25y (since I wouldn't be surprised if a new college grad comes home to live/save for a couple of years.) Neither kid took this option. But we had this discussion in HS when making post-graduation plans. We were fine with any of it. We just weren't going to allow them to sit i our basement all day/every day doing nothing.[/quote]
