my brain is melting this semester

[cookderosa]

I don't even know how to comprehend all of that! It's hard enough shepherding my 2 through high school!!!

Didn't you move to NC for your husband to take a job at a college, so that your kids could get free tuition? And NONE of them are using that benefit? I could be wrong...

HA HA, yes.

We did take this job for free tuition (having 4 kids, that was a HUGE deal), but that was in 2012, so my kids were pretty young and hadn't picked career choices at that time. (ages 7, 11, 13, 17 when we moved) so we didn't lock them into attending Johnson & Wales, but it was an option, so I could check that box in my brain that they had (still have) free tuition at that university if they want.
My son who is 20 will graduate from COSC this year, and he had over 70 credits when he graduated high school from ACE and dual enrollment- unfortunately, Johnson & Wales wouldn't have accepted any (!) of those, so his "free" business degree would have meant starting from square 1. Something he had zero interest in doing (I feel the same, what a waste of time). My other 3 pursuing careers that aren't offered at that school - except for my #3 son could get his master's from there, however, I'm hoping he'll do the Georgia Tech program instead. Anyway, yeah- so it's available, but it's not a good choice.
