[QUOTE="jpro, post: 15770122, member: 72690"] Exactly. I have worked at a university for the past 15 years and I wonder why some of the kids going to school are even there. There has to be a better path for those who are not cut out for college or don't have a desire to go. Trades and other options are there and I don't know why more people don't take advantage of them. Try getting a electrician out to your house by just cold calling them...not gonna happen. Same with plumbers and other skilled trades. There is a huge need for people to perform skilled labor that doesn't take a college degree. On the point of student loans. I'm 41 and my wife and I just paid ours off about a year ago. I have a bachelor's and master's degree and she has a bachelor's. We worked throughout college and worked full-time during the summers and winter breaks. We also were smart about where we went to school (quality public university in our own state) and didn't live lavishly while we were in college. I know a lot has changed since we graduated in 2000, but you can limit debt by being financially smart. I have a 30 year old nephew who went to the local university and lived at home while going to college and he racked up $43K in loans. LOL [/QUOTE]
