It seems that university-bound students can no longer rely on getting a job in their field after graduating college (or even graduate school for that matter). According to Paradise, high school students and their families need to have a back-up plan for paying off student loans in case their college graduate cannot secure employment in this competitive job market. It is my belief that such families may also want to keep an open mind about alternative plans other than entering college right from high school, such as working for a few years to save tuition money or attending college classes virtually. I shudder to think what our family will be facing financially when it comes time for our three children to enter college, especially with twins and their brother being only 3 years older. There will be one year when all three children will be attending college simultaneously.
