OK, here's a little something off the beaten track. It takes a very creative and motivated person, but it works. DS set up at craft sales and flea markets, selling *stuff*. He started out with hemp necklaces. I made tote bags for him to sell and he added tapestries and other interesting things he could find and re-sell. I might add that DH and I did pay a decent chunk with monthly payments to the college, and DS worked summers. He is very frugal also. I'm proud to say that he graduated in 3 1/2 years from a state college and doesn't owe a dime.

As a bonus, he learned a lot about business and filing taxes.
