[quote=Anonymous]There seems to be a pretty direct correlation between parental economic anxiety and the level of control and desire for ROI on college tuition. As parents, aren't we supposed to prepare our children as best we can to become more than what we are? We shield them from things so they can have better lives. Shouldn't that include our own worries and hangups? Some people get to have an avocation instead of just a vocation -- they aren't just working for a paycheck. I know a military pilot who often says he can't believe he gets paid to fly every day when he'd gladly pay for the privilege. There can be great personal satisfaction (and social benefit) to work that is not necessarily highly paid. [/quote]
