[quote=desmond]It will probably be worse in 10 years, and flu it will be here so fast you won’t believe it. My daughter graduated last Saturday so I am finished. We bit the bullet and sent our kids to private schools in Texas. I finished 8 years of private HS and 8 years of private College for my two kids. I got lucky on a couple of houses that made it easier to pay for but holy S I do not even want to know what we actually paid. I cannot imagine what people will do in the future paying for college. These colleges are like f- ing country clubs and just keep raising the green fees. In my mind I kept saying “thank you sir may I have another”.[/quote]
My kid hopefully will probably be going to a private school. I recall when I had a choice between any UC or private, I chose private, because back then they were having budget cuts and some people said it was taking them 5-6 years to finish. I ended up finishing my b.s.ee in 3.5 years and started on my m.eng last semester of senior year…But then again, I ended up getting an offer from qcom so I never finished my m.eng..
I was looking at the tuition of my alta mater…And while it is considerably more, percentage increase was slightly less than UC…
But I can hope that CA files for BK, and undo’s a lot of these costs, like pensions…I mean, I got 10 years for them to straighten out this mess and 10 years to acquire more property/assets…
