My kids were told that we would help them if they did the 2+2 approach. My son did his first 2 and got accepted at CNU. He’s finishing his Junior year and is shipping out to the Marine Corps (reserves) for summer boot camp. He then will return for his final year. Upon completion he hopes to apply to OCS. He has worked hard to make this happen!
Congrats to you and your son—that’s the way to do it!
I have one kid that quit community college, one that went through and is now set to graduate as an aerospace engineer from a four year (or five or six year) university, and one that went all four years to a four year university also set to graduate. The one who went to community college is the most grounded, has the most money (he is a saver) and has the most hours too.
My Brother in law took the same path. One nephew just joined the marines after one year and the other finished two years before opting to work full-time. The niece is the only one to start out at a four year school.
