[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed a few well off families we know have kids in ROTC at top colleges. The kids are studying government, public policy, economics. I know at least one or two of them want to go to law school. What's the angle here? Setting up a late 20s congressional run? Or does ROTC pay for undergrad and law school? Or maybe ROTC helps you get into top law schools.[/quote]

Wealthy family kids who want to go into POLITICS?  what do they do??  Nothing. Whatever they want. Or they go to GWU or Gtown, intern at Brookings/CFR, then Kennedy School or W Wilson grad school.

ROTC? That is awesome and for well-rounded individuals who are strong at academics, athletics, leadership and community. It is a partial scholarship in ugrad and then you owe a 2-4 years of military service. Grad school would be later, hard to do it concurrently, and either way grad school paid by military means you owe more time, tho grad school may be concurrent with service urged time back. [/quote]
