The days of paying for college as you go are gone, if you are expecting to finish in close to 4 years. Tuition inflation has been significantly higher than general inflation for so long that the gap is just too large unless the child gets significant scholarship money.
You're missing the point. It's called merit. You are not OWED a college education if all you want to do is have a party for seven years.
Parents realize how serious their children are about school early on. If they're not serious, let them get a job or join the military.
Otherwise, it's money down a rat hole.

And college isn't for everyone. If someone has a passion for something non-academic let them go to a trade school and pursue that. A friend of mine realized that college wasn't for him, he joined the air force and now that he's out he's in a trade school. He's much happier that way.
