I do have the benefit of post 911 G.I. bill benefits, so I can essentially pay for a four-year college education for free with those benefits. That particular bill generally doesn’t cover full tuition, but a lot of schools enroll in the yellow ribbon program and will cover the difference.

In other words, if my son gets accepted into a program that I deem worthy, I can use those benefits. But I’m not going to use those benefits on out of state tuition for a state school. That’s stupid. He can stay in state and do really well and then leave for graduate school.

Your description is my perception and that is very helpful to me. Thank you.
