<p>YouTube</a> - John Stossel Is College Worth It? 20/20 ABC News</p>
<p>What do you guys think about this?</p>
<p>Sure, college is expensive. There are plenty of negatives about that, so one shouldn’t take that step lightly. But I feel that colleges provide plenty of positives too: just look at how many kids switch their majors within the first few years. Now, imagine they went to a vocational school instead. If that’s not what someone wants to do afterall, they’d have to start all over again. If nothing else, college requires a certain degree of flexibility, tenacity, and creativity.</p>
<p>I also feel it gives kids time to grow up. Feel independent, make decisions on your own, figure out how to achieve something without the parents breathing down their neck.</p>
<p>So what about those costs? Like the other thread about Suzie Orman, her message is totally right: no one should go into huge amount of debt (and huge is a vague word on purpose). There are just plenty of ways to hold down costs: scholarships, work-study, grants, and picking the right school.</p>
<p>BTW: I bet John Stossel has a college degree and he’s sending his kids to college too.</p>
