Parents' Savings Plans Fall Short in Face of Rising College Tuitions, College Works Painting Offers Unique Solution
Reuters Reports That Parents Are Struggling to Pay for Children's College Fees as Tuition Rates Rise; College Works Painting Offers Unique Way to Resolve Financial Challenges
(firmenpresse) - IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/13 -- has recently responded to an published by Reuters that highlights the growing challenge parents face with regard to paying for their children's higher education, as the amount that they are saving is not covering the rising costs associated with the college experience. The company asserts that its business model provides both financial incentive and practical experience similar to that of an internship and that, ultimately, it develops skills that will contribute to future professional success.
According to the article, "The annual estimated cost of tuition, room and board for college jumped by 84 percent at four-year public institutions between 2000 and 2010, to $15,918. Costs for private institutions rose 49 percent to $32,617 during the same period, according to the National Center for Education Statistics."
But the rising cost of a college education is not the only factor that is causing the gap between what parents have to spend and what a degree costs; personal savings have also fallen since the recession began, making it even more difficult for parents to fully cover the expenses generated by their students. The article explains that the amount that individuals have saved, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, fell "to 3.7 percent in the third quarter of 2012 from 5.1 percent in 2010."
"With the cost of education having risen so dramatically over the past few years, it's more important than ever for students to be able to find ways to provide for both themselves and their education," asserts a representative of College Works Painting. "There are two main concerns students have right now: how to make ends meet while attending school and how to pay off student loans when they graduate. Many employers are putting an increasingly high level of importance of internship experience when it comes to hiring college graduates, and the experience provided by College Works Painting can further support a student's application. A good internship can help students to pay for school and provide them with the experience they need to get a well-paying job when they graduate."
