The Rising Cost of Education

"Only the hair-care industry could love these daunting figures:
By the time a child born in 1994 heads off to college in 18 years, educators project that four years of tuition, fees, room, board, books and transportation will cost an average of $128,000 at a public school - and more than $268,000 at a private school.

If your child makes it into the Ivy League, your bill probably will top $400,000.
Surely, those intimidating sums are more than enough to turn any parent’s hair prematurely gray."
