[QUOTE="garytx, post: 3882674, member: 49752"] My daughter went to a local community college. Got great A's joined a couple of legit Honor Societies that were based on her grades. When she applied to the University, because of her Honor Society membership they waived 50% of her tuition! The paid for half of the remainder (borrowed it all), I covered the other half ( in reality one quarter). She graduated with roughly 20K in student loan debt. Apply for every scholarship. Be unique, involved. Seriously consider the trades. Something that can't be outsource overseas. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, welding, trucking, landscaping, lawn care, land clearing, trim carpentry, roofing, etc. Start your own business. My nephew started small, purchased a used dump truck. Cleaned it up. Renting it for $200/day. Purchased a small dozer and is now doing the same thing. Kid just paid cash for a Can-Am sand rail and purchased his first house. He's doing okay for 24 years old. [/QUOTE]
