I think every parent should give JC a hard look. Go to JC for 2 years then transfer, unless that freshman-year college experience is that important for the kid. Otherwise, don’t see why parents want to pay $30K/year just to take general ed at a UC school for the first 2 years.[/quote]
I’m with you here buddy.
In fact, I only paid part of my kid’s college – they had to pick up the rest.
I think UC is overrated personally. I’ve got a State degree and make more $$ than friends that went to UC and two Harvard grads I know! In fact, the Harvard grads work for me!
People think through college rankings too much. Get a good education and put the rest of your energy to performing well on the job.
