I am a few years away from my kids being in college. I have a decent job, but I am considering looking at lower paying jobs at a university that gives free tuition to staff and participates in the Tuition Exchange program. Question is, is it worth making less annually and having less of a career path available to be able to take advantage of this benefit in the future. We can pretty easily afford for them to go and live at in-state college, although we are not wealthy, but have worked hard and saved up for it, we will also not qualify for any financial aid at all. I am wondering if the kids might get a lot of that benefit in merrit on their own so it’s not that beneficial for me to factor this tuition benefit heavily into the decision? Thanks!
