One of our family members went for a big degree and is now over one hundred thousand dollars in debt. She works as a child psychologist at a local school in Southern California making $70k a year. She's lucky her husband is making bank or she would be homeless. It's interesting because this person is very smart and she can see the difference between what her degree is costing her vs what she will be making.
My kid just left for college. I had to explain how much the degree costs. The amount of money a freaking AA degree costs is staggering.

School doesn't have to cost near as much if you work smarter and harder than the rest of the idiots.

I hope your kids remember how much you've contributed and helped when you're old. We have recent university grads who were engineers jobs wasting their talents on menial jobs. Many just take jobs they are way overqualified in order to survive.
