re: Anyone NOT save for your kids' college?

I'd like to know what the drop out/fail out rate is at a community college compared to a 4 year university. I see college more as a experience and part of growing up than an invest in your career and you can't do that living at mom and dads going to CC.

I agree with this. I knew too many people that took courses at CC's for years, and were never able to finish school. They often get trapped by taking a bunch of courses that won't transfer. They get stuck working some temp job to pay the bills, and cant really focus on any one aspect.

Granted this may not have turned out any better had they gone to a four year college.

However, I do believe that the college experience is part of the coming of age journey in our country. Sure many abuse it, but I think it can be done right with great effects.
