If you accept a TOPs scholarship, you should be required to work in Louisiana for a set amount of time or a % of your check returned to the state if you leave Louisiana. Consider it a 0% interest loan

I’m torn on this.

Yes, the ROI is terrible, but the problem is jobs. I grew up in BR and got a finance degree from LSU. We wanted to stay close to family but there was precious little there in terms of entry level jobs, much less anything to build a career on.

Contrast this to my daughter. She’s a freshman at Kennesaw and getting HOPE. When she’s done in three years, odds are she’s staying in the ATL metro area because she can actually work here.
