[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody said they weren't "fine".  But, it doesn't make sense to pay up the nose for an expensive college where the ROI isn't there.

I don't think my kids need to "earn" my investment in them. My younger child is a stronger student than my older child, but they both deserve an equal share of what we're able to pay for college. If anything, the weaker student needs a smaller environment where she can more easily get to know professors. My stronger student would likely thrive in the larger environment of a big state university.[/quote]
If kid A can get into some place like Harvard or MIT, then the ROI will be high.  The high cost was worth it.

If kid B goes to some pricey college that's not like Harvard or MIT, and gets a job that pays not as much, then the ROI isn't there, and the college expense was not worth that cost.

Having stated that, I don't think most colleges are worth *that* much. My A kid is at UMD and doing very well.  But, if they got into MIT, which they didn't, I would seriously think about paying for it.  But most colleges aren't worth that much.[/quote]
