I feel education is very important. Yes, that includes college. I did attend college for a semester or two and was fortunate that my parents were willing and able to pay for me to go. I was young and decided I didn’t want to be in college at that time. How stupid I was. By the time I decided that I wanted to go back, I couldn’t afford it. That’s still the case now. I’d love to go back and at least finish my 2 year degree but just can’t afford it. My fifteen year old is in high school and I’m hoping that he’ll want to go to college and realize how important it is. Unfortunately, we’ve never been able to make enough to save money to give him for this. We’ll help him in any way we can but my best guess is that we won’t be able to be of much help. Which leaves me wondering exactly how my son will be able to pay for college if he wants to go. I found this infographic quite informative. I had no idea that the percentage of grants available was as high as it shows.
