Another perspective:
In the 70’s, when I went to college, paying for it was NOT an issue…my parents paid what they would, I took out a loan for the rest, paid it off when I graduated: I never thought about it, nor did I worry about finding a job, a place to live, etc.
Is it the same for my children? Oh, come on. We’re in major panic. As my ex was recently laid off of his job as an editor at a major newspaper after 25 yrs., we can only hope that our sudden lack of income and need of financial aid will get the kids through college…’cause loans? We’re all well aware of the college loan debacle.
Those w/out kids won’t feel this–and I haven’t seen it discussed on the board here–but it’s a huge issue (that some of the Ivys have addressed by offering free tuition to families that earn less than whatever).
And, try to find a job now…
