Are you facing OUTRAGEOUS college costs for kids?

I'm even more amazed at the ONLINE universities popping up everywhere! At first, no one really understood what they were! And admittedly, many of them are shady and offered "dubious" degrees.

But our state university now offers an "online degree" program (same school my kids attend). It's more expensive than some of the no-name colleges offering online degrees, but it's still a fraction of the cost of attending a bricks-and-mortar school. And you get an ACTUAL DEGREE from a recognized MAJOR university. Are they TRYING to put themselves out of business?!

I happen to believe that the college "experience" -- leaving home, living on your own, attending lectures, (going to Frat parties :rofl:) -- is VERY important.

But if the spiraling cost of college isn't reigned in, I honestly believe -- within one generation -- a college degree, and how one comes about it -- will take on a whole new "face."

These hallowed institutions really need to take pause and regroup.

Blackie... Sooooo sorry for the threadjack!! In fact, I am copying and pasting this post into a NEW thread over in the Social Spot if anyone cares to join me there!

Put the internet to work for you.
