[quote=Anonymous]I will definitely try to pay for my kids. My parents did their best, but they'd had a change in fortunes in the several years before I went, plus I chose a private college. I graduated with about $18k in student loans (back in '97). The fear of more debt drove me to take the first (not good) job offer I got and held me back from attending graduate school - I just couldn't psychologically or financially deal with any more debt. By the time I paid it all back, I was in my 30s and had sort of missed the best grad-school window and still feel stuck in my low-paying career. Again, partly my fault for choosing a private college and for majoring in English (!), and then just partly the bad luck of not hailing from a rich family. If I can prevent my kids from having that sort of huge limitation on graduate education and career selection, I will. Here's to hoping. (Side note: I wouldn't pay for grad school for my kids, though. We would like to retire at some point ...)[/quote]
