Kid is going to community college for the first two years to get his gen eds. Cost: $1300 a sem. + $400 books + gas.

I simply cannot understand the value of paying (in some cases) $50K a year for gen eds.

The new strategy is to find a good CC and then transfer in to a high quality university because where you finish is more important than where you start with employers. So, if you do your two years at BMCC and transfer to NYU, it’s the NYU that sticks with employers - but you’ve saved about $100k in the process since NYU is now running about $50k a year. That $100k can then go towards either graduate school or being able to afford other things faster - like cars, houses, etc., and skipping the debt is a good thing.
