What percentage of kids get scholarships and how much do they pay? I was sixth in my class of 200, got high SAT scores, and was lower middle class. I didn't get any scholarship or grant money.
I'm all for my kid having a part time job (full time in summer) but as people have mentioned, how much of a dent is some low-wage job going to put into a 20-50K a year price tag? It seems like it would more likely slow them down and prevent them from graduating in four years.
whatever happened to scholarships? working your way through college? grants?
well both my sister and i got full scholarships..in my case including everything plus a stipend...but we had to and we had a lot going for us that most people don't... but i know schools that have a ton of scholarship money.... University of Richmond actually comes to mind...
personally i think i would tell my kid to learn a foreign language and find a way in to study in europe or something...
there's no way a college education is worth what its costing...its a huge racket... they up the costs then the govt ups the amount you can take out in loans then they up the costs again....way outstripping inflation...its a RACKET...wake up you are being CONNED.
but the bottom line is if you're saving that money its great because you don't have to use it for college if you don't need to..
anyways, like i said this is just boring so stop it.
