Congratulations Your child is in the final year of high school. Will not be long before you send to your alma mater or better yet, the prestigious private school. But wait! It is often tempting for a parent to choose a school that is prestigious and what is less expensive (neither one of these choices, Hispanic, is bad in itself).

If your child is trying to go directly into a skilled job, a technical school or community can provide the expertise you want. However, if it tries to enter a profession that requires a commitment of four years, needs to go to a college in four years.

Do not be afraid to discuss any issues of money and financial aid. Read the literature in colleges and universities.
