In its 10th annual survey on the topic, the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit College Savings Foundation found the highest percentage ever of high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who said costs will be a deciding factor in which college they attend or whether they end up going at all. This year’s survey of 500 students also found the highest percentage in the survey’s history — 55% — who said they think about technical schools and career schools in the same way they look at traditional colleges. “High school students today consider technical schools and career schools on par with a four-year degree,” said Richard Polimeni, chairman of the College Savings Foundation and director of education savings programs at Bank of America in Pennington, N.J.
