Nontrads and the High Cost of College - some thoughts. Sept. 2018

Hope for Nontrads and Others - who really can't afford college.

I know it's a problem. College is becoming out of reach for Nontraditional AND traditional students. Somehow, this problem is not getting solved. Colleges used to be priced so that students could pay debt off as they went, and had jobs in the summer to help too. Now schools must keep increasing tuition and more, to keep solvent.

Now, some students are deep in debt, and the debt keeps growing, because it can't ever be dismissed or taken care of in a bankruptcy...

I have just talked about the high cost of college today in the Find Scholarships and Grants blog.

It MUST be a problem right now for any Nontraditional Students going back to school too. Not everyone has a family that can fork out a LOT of money for them.

I hope this can be changed. I love the idea of a 2-year free College/Trade School option for everyone. Think of how this would help in so many ways.

Companies would find more skilled people to work, and people could explore new opportunities and find out about fields they would love. Other countries do this, what about the US?

I have not blogged here in a long time. I have mostly been on Facebook at the Nontrads page there. (See below for some more links too).

But I think this is a good option too, to blog here. I will try to post here more in the future. It does not take long, and I think it helps get ideas out and links out there too, to help. It is my wish that the Scholarship links and ideas in my blogs will help some people afford school right now. I am hopeful things will turn around in the future. I hope the future comes soon!
