In this episode my mother and I discuss the pros and cons of her student loan debt and how it effected her longterm views on the college experience. I have been very vocal about my disdain on student loan debt and repayment. We discussed the reason she took out student loans and how certain jobs offer tuition assistance. Enjoy!
Some things to consider when applying for college:
Debt repayment
Minority admissions / minority involvement
Scholarships
Tuition reimbursement
Grants
Budgeting
Trade school
Transferrable credits (I ALWASY RECOMMEND GOING TO A SCHOOL THAT HAS A TRANSFERRABLE DEGREE PROGRAM. TAKE COURSES AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FIRST IF THEY TRANSFER TO THE UNIVERSITY!!)
Consider all options. Your first choice may not be the BEST choice financially, going to your second or last choice school is still a success!)
