[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 273390, member: 3444"] We've essentially decided to skip the 4-year college path out of highschool with cost being a primary factor. I estimate both difficult child's will start at a much lower cost community college for the first few years. Afterall, people only look at where you got your diploma, not where you spent your frosh/soph years. If anyone in our house has a shot at a scholarship, it will be easy child. But that's so far off, I'm not even worrying about it right now. The cost of higher education is skyrocketing. I read in one state the mayor of a college town is actually considering charging college students a TAX just for being a student, to the tune of $150 per semester. That's just outRAGEous! The student in the article above lives in my area, and it's VERY expensive to live here, and the job market is essentially flat. Not a lot of layoffs, but also not a lot of open jobs either. Makes it really tough for people just coming out of school. You really have get creative in your job search. Sometimes the job you want has to be approached from a less obvious angle. [/QUOTE]
