A talented, motivated young person can get into animation with a CC degree. Just not the 80k+ jobs. Or rarely. More likely, she likes the idea of “animation.” Nothing is mentioned of the kid’s background or experiences.
Plus, she could have done the 2 years at cc, then transferred. Nothing truly lost. Or started at U Southern Maine, commutable.
I imagined this is a family truly living close to the bone. Not the sort that “should have” 200k set aside.
Saving for college is only a choice when there’s breathing room in the budget.
The problem is agreeing to 150k in costs.
