Don't borrow money for school...it can hurt you and those close to you...
#4
I think they have each other to blame, and I think they are all right! College is one of those weird things. We are taught that through the hollowed doors of academia lie success, and I still think that's partially true, but it's only part of the story. Google will show you hundreds of stories like the one linked above and these are for the graduates. It's so much worse if one takes out loans and fails to finish the degree.

I prefer a game of "beat the man" where I've taught my youngsters to game the system, CC first, use CLEP/DSST, use dual enrollment, live at home,exploit every opportunity. The flip side of the high cost equation is that there are opportunities to greatly reduce your expenses. You owe it to yourself to be super informed and make smart choices.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
