Don't borrow money for school...it can hurt you and those close to you...
#5
Some years back I attended a college graduation at a very expensive private school. One of the students who spoke was a resident of the state. She told of a conversation with her father when she was in first grade. He told her that if she wanted to go to college, it was on her. He was a farmer with a very limited income. Parents should be having those types of conversations with children beginning at an early age.

And the kid going for a second degree? Mean me thinks it's just doubling-down on stupid.
