[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the drama about colleges?  You might think going to school "in Boston" or Princeton will guarantee success in life and graduating from the University of Alaska (assuming they have one) will guarantee a life of long winters and despair.

[b]Let your kids go to college. Live, breath, learn, laugh, experience, and occupy at least one administration building while they are still undergrads[/b]. [/quote]

How is that worth 200+k? If this the goal they should backpacking around the world, not spending boatloads of money in order to pretend to be advancing careers.[/quote]

I think the PP's point was that it doesn't have to cost 200k+ and that for all of the talk about the "right" place to send your kid, nothing is guaranteed from that degree. Let's be honest - what happens after graduation is sort of a crap shoot anyway. [/quote]
Sure, everything is a crapshoot.  But as a parent, I'd like to boost the odds in my kids' favor.  Totally agree that sometimes I don't know which way to even attempt to stack the deck.  Really need a crystal ball here.  [/quote]
