My son is completing his junior year and we are trying to figure out which school to attend based on cost vs future earnings/job opportunities. My son is planning to study chemical engineering. If he lives at home he can go to a regional college and his total debt after scholarships and his 529 account would be approx. $8k. If he goes to a stronger state school or well respected tech school he will have debt of approx. $60k due to living on campus. Is it worth going to a better school? In case anyone is in Michigan and are familiar with our schools. The regional college with minimal debt are Wayne State University or Oakland University. The big ticket schools are Michigan State or Michigan Technology University.
Any advice would be appreciated.
