With the cost of college now, it makes a lot more sense to consider trade schools.

If debt is an issue, kids need to major in something that will pay it off, like engineering, computer science, or the medical field. Otherwise, they will be in trouble.

This will happen if the government and states stop providing tuition help to students in worthless majors. If you can’t return the favor, you shouldn’t get the handout

I'm of the opinion it's time to back off of the 4 year expectation and eliminate electives not associated with your chosen major. There is no logical reason to pay for 4 years when 3 will suffice (I'm talking to you, Tennis, Astrology, Art of the Western World, Introduction To College, Outdoor Living, Intro to Zumba, etc...)
