How to Save 25% on Your Total College Costs
Recent high school grads, what if I told you that you could save 25 percent on your college costs? Not only that, but in addition to saving all that money, you could earn some, too -- a full year's worth of salary, in fact. It's easy: Just finish college in three years.
Sounds crazy, right? College is supposed to be fun. Who would trade one of the best years of their life for more studying? Well, I did, and it was one of the best financial decisions I made. With college costs on the rise, I think more students should consider it.
Think about it. If you're starting college this fall, you're looking at an average ticket price of $23,410 a year for a public school and an astounding $46,272 at a private school. Yes, I know many students don't pay full freight, but even at the average "net" cost, you're looking at nearly $13,000 a year for public college and more than $23,000 a year for a private institution.
