Head Start on College
Back in the 90’s/early 00’s my high school had a policy that they would pay for any classes they didn’t offer that a student wished to take at the local community college – and it would count for high school and college credits.
I took scuba diving, philosophy, sociology, ethics, MS Office 1 & 2, and a whole bunch of other “easy” classes. 1st year of college done before I graduated. My BS overall cost way less, I was able to work full time while at university – plus the perk of a college schedule being much shorter then high school so several weeks I didn’t have to go to either.
Smart people take AP classes, smarter people do this instead.
