I'm 41, and until very recently, I thought I would remain child-free. My parents, lifelong teachers and coaches, have centered their entire existence around family and kids. Maybe evolution would keep them around long enough to spend time with the kids of their own late-blooming kids after all. We'd both been ambivalent about having kids, at best. I see how having kids can deepen one's relationship with their parents and the rest of their family, and I want that for all of us.

☆ The way Americans pay for higher education is changing
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-01 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Education experts told BI these shifts could force colleges to change the way they charge students. Still, steep college costs remain a barrier for many seeking a higher education. Additionally, institutional grant aid for all students rose by $19.6 billion over the same timeframe, accounting for 52% of all grant aid in the 2023-24 school year. Since state funding shifts, there are steps colleges can take to make higher education more affordable for its students. However, it's unclear where federal investment for higher education will sit under President-elect Donald Trump, placing the focus on colleges to consider ways to make a four-year degree affordable.
