You
can consider other options while planning for your child's education.
Your child can attend a state school for the first two years of college
and then consider transferring to a public university or a private university.
Employers only care where the child graduated from, not where the student
began their college education.
Another option is for parents to fund a private high school education, send the child to a state school for undergraduate course work, and then send the child to graduate school.
Parents can also decide to have their child work while they attend college. Other options are the child can make up the difference between the cost of the education and what their parents will fund with scholarships, loans, grants or work programs.
