[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We save for it from the moment our children are born.  And frankly, we don't have more children than we think we can pay for.  (I'm not trying to be inflammatory or say that you had too many kids.  I'm saying I would have had more kids if I had more money.)[/quote]

This is WILD! I would say the majority of people I grew up with paid for college themselves - yes took out loans, some quite substantial. Exactly zero of them wish they hadn’t been born instead of going into some debt! [/quote]

Times have changed. [/quote]

Let's not forget community college and financial aid.  Roughly half of my friends did four years in the military and then earned a bachelor's or masters. Sure, they were a couple years behind, but the military was a good thing for most of them.  [/quote]

The community college path is also a really good one for a lot of students, especially if you go to a community college that has a strong pipeline and pathway to a good 4 year system. I'm from CA, and a huge number of kids do 2 years in this type of CC and then transfer to UC schools.[/quote]
