My college advice, is to look for a more affordable college. There is a huge price different for the same degree. Had a friend who was complaining about the cost of her son's history degree at a local private college. I told her you can get the same degree at college x for half the price, that was met with, "but that's further away. Momma wanted her son closer so he could come home on weekends. Now that he's graduated, he's working fast food last I heard, and living at home.....
I found filling out FAFSA was a waste of time, did it once and that was enough. My two never got a dime of help, but one is a computer engineer, now doing programming. The other is information systems now working on computer stuff. I told both if I'm paying, they needed to get a degree that they could get a job with.
for the most part, colleges aren't doing students any favors by offering worthless degrees. They are basically stealing money from students to support their system. The whole college system needs a complete overhaul. But it starts with people refusing to pay for worthless degrees, but that won't happen..
