If it was my kid I would tell them to take the money. If it is really the huge difference being reported. I’m not convinced these numbers reported are real. But if. My married son came to me and said I can stay at BYU and make 60-100k over the next 2 years or go to Kentucky for 2 years and make 300-500k I would tell him to go to Kentucky and when he moves back pay cash for a house. Having a home paid for is a luxury few people experience and even fewer in their 20’s or early 30’s.
