[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks for all of your answers. To answer a few points, we've paid for all of DC's schooling in cash. We received roughly 8-10% of the total cost via need based grant and the rest we covered out of pocket.

To add to the hurt, We have a much older child of higher book intelligence but very introverted and a poor networker/social skills compared to DC. We spent less on the older child by far by sending to a public in-state.

DC who is 10 years younger uses the older child as an example of how useless college is because the older child has two degrees (grad degree from a Georgetown/Emory/JHU level school in a somewhat practical field) yet has been jobless for a very extended period of time.

DC would probably be happier finishing up credits at a school out west near where work is but it just wont match up with the LAC curriculum so that is not a practical solution.

I am hoping that going out west for 3 months will put DC in a better mindstate and will help in relieving any issues DC has with school.

If not it looks like the financial piece is something we have to discuss with DC even though we hate talking about it.
