I just wish parents and their high school seniors would analyze how much money college will cost vs. their realistic job/income prospects once they graduate. One of my coworkers (from a working class/moderate income family) went to a small, out-of-state private school to earn a degree in art. She has over $100,000 in student load debt but earns $12 per hour. She lives in a rented bedroom/shared bath in someone's home and wants to go back and get a master's degree because she "loved college so much." She has absolutely no career ambitions other than to get her MRS degree. Unfortunately, the guy she wants to marry doesn't have a career path either.
