Comments on: College Costs: What’s The Cost Of No College? http://www.fortunewatch.com/college-costs-whats-the-cost-of-no-college/ Money Is Power Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:42:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marco http://www.fortunewatch.com/college-costs-whats-the-cost-of-no-college/comment-page-1/#comment-7325 Marco Fri, 09 May 2008 17:07:55 +0000 http://www.fortunewatch.com/college-costs-whats-the-cost-of-no-college/#comment-7325 I'm planning on sending my kids to study abroad. Even taking into account the extra expense of living in a foreign country, it's still cheaper than a U.S. education and, if you choose carefully, just as good if not better. For example, in Mexico the largest university (UNAM) is publicly funded and free, and it's ranked in the Top 100 universities in the world. If you want more prestige, Monterrey's Tec (ITESM) is an excellent choice, and the tuition will not break your bank. In fact, for a private university-level institution Tec's tuition rates are lower than many so called "public" universities in the US. And this is just Mexico. There are hundreds of other schools worldwide where your kids can achieve not just a higher level of education, but also learn the value of a foreign language and culture, without having to mortgage your future and theirs with exorbitant student loans that may take decades to pay back. Indeed, when it comes to higher education, the United States is starting to lag behind the rest of the world and I wouldn't want my kids to be at a disadvantage when it's time to enter the workforce.

On average someone with a college degree will make a million dollars more over their lifetime, than someone without a degree. I read a book called "Cash For College," that gives you the inside secrets of college funding and finacial aid. I have stuff about the author, Daniel Wansten, posted on my blog. The information in this book is invaluable when it comes to helping your child go to the college of their dreams. College is extremely important!

College is heavily subsidised and everyone who's bright enough to get into one, usually gets there. But even here I don't rate college education too highly. Maybe things are different when you're talking about a Doctor. But I'd surely recommend technical or specialised training over college any day.
