My response to this #GenZ girl who says she feels lied to by those who promised she’d have a good...

You would think that one might give some thought to your vocation and if it meets your personal needs and returns enough money back (ROI) to pay the bills. A young lady who is the daughter of a good friend moved to the East Coast to complete her undergrad and master's program in Sociology. Her goal was in social work. Just under $300K in cost for the sheepskin, she started her job at $74K, and the folks agreed she could live at home until she got on her feet. She has good looks, brains, athleticism, and an exceptional personality so she should do well in any endeavor she chooses.

If you take a moment to do the math the $300K+ is expensive for an annual salary of $74K. She hopes President Biden will find a way to forgive her loan. IMHO our educational system is broken and a huge cadre of staffers in education in D.C. is making it worse and costing the taxpayers a bunch.

I do feel sorry for this delusional female. To make a great living one doesn’t need a college degree. I know many individuals that are chefs, auto mechanics, plumbers, etc. The majority of the ones I know are multi millionaires.
My sons had a choice: 1. The military, 2. Trade school, 3. College. When each was born I opened a UGMA account for each putting 25 dollars into the fund each month. As I gained rank I increased it to $100 a month to each fund. When each graduated HS here in GA they had the Hope scholarship. I made them a deal. Keep the Hope and I would take care of the incidentals. #2 son had a 2 year scholarship for soccer when he transferred into the University of North GA. After hope and other incidentals from his scholarship he would get a $600+ check each semester for 4 semesters. Both boys graduated college with no debt and a fairly sizable sum in their accounts.
When each of my three grands were born, I opened UGMA accounts for them. Hopefully it will help if they decide to go to college or life.
