The High-School Juniors With $70,000-a-Year Job Offers

Let’s see, $70,000 per year plus benefits right out of HS

Or

4 years at a state college at a cost of what? $40,000 per year for tuition, books and living expenses. Likely funded by loans.

$160,000 in debt after four years and questionable job prospects vs. $280,000+ in earnings and no debt.

What to do, what to do . . .

My kids are past college age, but if I had HS age kids, no way would I be encouraging them to look at college (unless it was for engineering, nursing or limited other courses of study).
