Go fuck yourself.

Is that trailer park enough for you?

Congratulations on being raised by parents who had plenty of money and privilege. Not every one does.  Unfortunately, all that privilege results in a terminal lack of empathy for some. Maybe therapy could help you with that, but I am not sure. [/quote]

It's not a money thing; it's a low culture-stupidity-ego-power thing. I don't judge anyone for having less money - but I do judge ignorant adults jeopardizing their children's futures because they're too stupid to take a step back and realize college prep isn't their wheelhouse and welcome the generous help. It really boils down to "Ain't no [i]uppity[/i] aunt and uncle gonna tell me what's best for me (step) kids."[/quote]

Do you know how much plumbers make? Or welders? Or really talented hair stylists?

OP, you have to be one of the most ignorant snobs ever produced by dcum.

Remember, one does not need to graduate from Harvard or an ivy to have a rich and fulfilling life.

And even more important, you only need to look at the value systems of fields like the finance field, big law and politics to easily see that all that money spent on those prestigious degrees does nothing to create kind, empathetic, moral people with rich and rewarding lives who make the world a better place.

In fact, if you want your nephews to be good people who are kind and happy, you really should lower your snob treshold and get in contact with the rest of the world.[/quote]

Not OP.  I agree going to Harvard or an Ivy is not the secret to a happy successful life but it's hard to argue that a college education doesn't open additional doors for you.  At worst you are in the same place.  You can still be a plumber or a welder or a hair stylist with a college degree.  Can't be a lawyer or a doctor or a teacher without one.[/quote]
