When my daughter was in HS she laughed when we suggested the Jr college 10 minutes from our house. Then she started looking at the cost of colleges and the amount of loans she would have to take. All of a sudden the local Jr college looked pretty good. She went their for 2 years and loved it. Then the jr college had an agreement with Univ of Wisconsin to continue your education there at in state tuition. It was a 45 minute commute each way and her pt job was 45 minutes in the other direction,but it worked out fine. She got her degree and came out of college with 0 debt. It is difficult now a days to come out with a huge student loan debt with the job market so awful. |
