Not Good

Colleges are reporting lots more students asking for financial aid this year.

That's what happens when the costs are out of control and the economy isn't good.

They take a year off and work for a while....probably a better system in all honesty anyway.

probably not from a financial standpoint. working for a year without a college education is not likely to be lucrative and with the costs rising so quickly, the inflation might outpace a person's ability to save money during that time.

however, from a life experience standpoint, it might be beneficial. the brits do their "gap year" and often do something between high school and college. then again, they generally go to college for 3 years instead of 4.
