[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lori Laughlin and spouse were particularly stupid considering their daughter already had a likely million dollar a year business as a social influencer. They would have been better off making her see a financial adviser and getting her investing like crazy so when she loses her looks or people stop caring about her, her money is earning money and she can live off investments.[/quote]

Agree.

In this case, however, she leveraged a new contract related to being a college student influence, hawking dorm gear and so forth. Had she not been in college she would have had to limit herself to makeup, clubs and god knows what else.

Also, Mom said she never had a chance to go to college, and wanted her daughters to have that experience. Perhaps they can experience prison together.[/quote]

I'm at a total loss as to why her family valued USC or UCLA so much over places like SMU, ASU, Arizona or SEC and lower ranked Big 10 universities she likely could have gotten into as a full-pay dumb rich kid from California? I understand USC and UCLA are more competitive than ever but for a ditz, why were they so obsessed? Doesn't make sense at all. Are there people who think USC is really, really prestigious?[/quote]

would not send kid to SMU, ASU or SEC school.  USC is fine and offers students a lot of opportunity.  USC has a ton of successful Alumni (not from Cali or USC person).  USC is also a hot school as far as college age students.[/quote]

Because there aren't any successful alumni from SMU, ASU or SEC schools.  We'll tell Tim Cook, Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Hugh Shelton, Krysten Sinema, Octavia Spencer, Kathy Bates, Aaron Spelling, Karen Hughes, Alex Cruz (CEO of British Airways), Blake Mycoskie (founder of Toms), Thaddeus Arroyo (CEO, AT&T Business Solutions and International), Whitney Wolfe Herd (founder and CEO, Bumble; co-founder, Tinder), Melissa Reiff (CEO, The Container Store), Edward B. Rust, Jr. (chair, State Farm Insurance Companies). (This is just a quick sample that I bothered to type, and I left off the names of CEOs on the SMU list that inherited the family business -- e.g., Hunt Oil, Tyson Foods). The "Famous Alumni of USC" list includes Neil Armstrong and a few big producers (Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas, Ron Howard), but after that, it's a list of famous actors.  That's great if you want to be in the entertainment biz, but you realize that not everyone does, right? The first name on the USC list that popped up on Google is Will Ferrel (ahead of Neil Armstrong) and I think that just about says it all. [/quote]
