[QUOTE="beatupbrown, post: 1416407, member: 4488"] Yes I agree Trillion dollars in student loans is huge. Some Kids get degrees that are not in demand graduate and no job waiting in the wings, rack up major debt. Junior colleges are a great resource for kids not sure why it is not used more often? Is it kids want to follow their buddies to the state university? I told my kids at a very early age college is a must but you must get a degree that is in demand .My son took college level math in high school and was given college credits for it. If you start early in high school to prepare for college you can be done early in their degree save mom and dad lots of money. My son will have most if not all of his math his sophomore year done, he is getting A degree in Electrical Engineering .My daughter is doing the same thing taking college level math in high school she is looking at Industrial Engineering . I am also a big fan of trade schools, some folks say no just go to work early with a say plumber pick up the trade then you can make good money after you master the craft.USA seems to adrift in unskilled labor we still need plumbers ,Electricians .etc..
