- Money isn’t everything, but it takes money to live! Look at how earning potential increases with the level of education. The average income for a high school dropout would make for a very tight budget! But the money you could earn as a doctor or lawyer would provide for lots of extras! The point is this: pick the career you want, and get the education you need to be successful. Educationhttp://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_chart_001.txt
- These costs are national averages. You can get the costs for your favorite schools by visiting their Web sites. As you can see, there is a lot of difference between public and private college costs. But if you try hard, you can cut corners and make your education affordable. If you take AP classes in high school, or if you take advantage of dual enrollment, you will cut the amount of time you will spend in college. You can take your core courses at a local community college and save tuition and housing costs. You can save money by buying used textbooks. Taking a full course load will save you money, too. Collegeboard.com: What It Costs to Go to CollegeYou hear so much talk about the price of college, it’s easy to get intimidated — but how much does college really cost? The answer is “It varies.” Colleges come in a wide variety and, depending on the choices you make, the price of a college education can be quite reasonable — especially if you think of college as an investment in yourself and your future. Let’s look at the facts:Nearly half (47 percent) of all full-time undergraduate college students attend a four-year college that has published charges of less than $9,000 per year for tuition and fees.At the other end of the spectrum are private four-year colleges that cost $35,000 or more yearly in tuition and fees. These higher-priced colleges sometimes have bigger endowments and more grant aid available — which may mean that you can get more financial help to attend that institution.At two-year colleges, the average cost for tuition and fees is $2,713. Learn about the two-year college experience.(Private 2-year college figures: http://swz.salary.com/CollegeTuitionPlanner/Layoutscripts/Cltl_Results_Graph.aspx)A handful of colleges either charge no tuition at all or offer all students full scholarships covering tuition costs.Your goal is to choose a college that’s a good fit for you. Think about whether you like the campus culture and if there is enough academic support to help you do well in your classes.Talk with your family about where you would like to go to college and what you can afford. Then take into account the total cost of attendance through graduation.Sticker Price vs. Affordability: Keep in mind that the actual price the average undergraduate pays for a college education is considerably lower than the published tuition and fees. This is usually due to grants and other forms of financial aid. Look at what it really costs to attend college:Public four-year colleges charge, on average, $7,605 per year in tuition and fees for in-state students. The average surcharge for full-time out-of-state students at these institutions is $11,990. Private nonprofit four-year colleges charge, on average, $27,293 per year in tuition and fees.Public two-year colleges charge, on average, $2,713 per year in tuition and fees.Of course, that’s not the total price. You still have to live somewhere, eat, buy books and supplies, and do your laundry. Read more about additional college costs you need to consider. http://www.collegeboard.com/student/pay/add-it-up/482.html Factor In Your Financial Aid Award: Most students receive financial aid. In 2009-10, more than $154 billion in financial aid was awarded to undergraduate students. The average amount of aid for a full-time undergraduate student was about $11,500, including more than $6,000 in grants that don’t have to be repaid. So, despite all the talk about high prices and price increases, a college education remains an affordable choice for most families. Learn more about how financial aid works.
