My son was offered a spot at a very good college. When the conversation turned to scholarship or academic money we were told, very little is available. The school currently costs $66k to attend. My 14 year old son doesn't have a clue what he wants to major in or what career he wants to pursue. We decided to wait. We could have played the commit as a fall back game but decided to have some integrity. He has very good grades so we are expecting there to me other offers to similar schools and hopefully some real $$ is offered. If not, so be it. We'll make a more informed decision further down the line as he matures. Bottomline, I don't want him to be saddled with $300k in debt when it may not be necessary to pursue his career goals.
