Q1: Can I really save money by going to school in my home state?
A1: You can definitely save money because out of state tuition is VERY expensive. Every university is different with their expenses but I strongly suggest going to school in your state. Think about it, out of state tuition alone is already too much. You're also going to have to think about dorming, your books, food, etc. Another way to save money would be attending a community college in your state because these colleges only charge half of what major schools charge and you can transfer the classes you took and credits you earned to a four-year school!
Q2: Should I go to college even if I don't know what career I want to pursue?
A2: There are several jobs that only require a high school diploma. But before you skip college, make sure to check if any of the majors interests you. If you don't declare a major as a freshmen, you can take general education classes to give you some time to explore your options. Most colleges and and universities have programs for undecided students. Although you may have no idea as to what you want to do, you can still find the value of a college education.
I agree that you can save money by going to school in your home state. But I also believe colleges in your home state are expensive then out of state colleges.

ReplyDeleteGoing to college in your home state is cheaper. Most college websites show the difference in cost. Also, if you're not sure what you want to major in don't worry. You have at least two years to figure it out, because your first two years are your general education classes.
