[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you not be? We're planning to spend *at least* 300k on each kid and we have 3.

Do I want them to  be "interesting"? Yeah sure. But, if that's your primary goal, you're better off giving them money just to travel around the world for a year. They'll definitely pick up interesting and funny stories but idk how employable it'll make them.

I want my kids to be independent and not living in my basement some day. Can you really blame me for wanting that after spending a million dollars to educate them?[/quote]

This is a false dichotomy.  I also want my kids to be independent but I don’t think they have to be a STEM major or go to a small subset of schools.  It is also strange to me that so many people on this thread believe that a college course, taught by an expert and filled with other students who ask good questions, would provide the same benefit as reading on one’s own.  I was a humanities major and I use the skills I learned all the time at work.  [/quote]
