I expected more No answers for sure. My parents got a savings bond for all 3 of us which paid for a year of community college but that was it. And I will have at least 60,000 in loans when I'm done. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule but out of all the kids I have met in college I have found that the majority of the time, kids who don't have to pay for school themselves have an undeserved sense of entitlement. Just my opinion, maybe its different from school to school but it seems like every generation gets a little more rude and selfish. I feel like everyday I meet and run into people everyday who are so not self-aware and just don't care about anyone but themselves. And it seems like a lot of kids my age just got everything handed to them growing up and never had to really work for things. I just think paying for your own college is a good life lesson and might make you work harder for it and be more proud of what you have accomplished. Once again, just my opinion.
Thanks for this!
