[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College in general works out for any kid as long as they graduate, ideally on time in four years if not early in three years (more likely at a state school that accepts all the APs). Most kids have a ton of fun, mature into adults, make a bunch of lifelong friends, most marry someone they met from or through that college social circle in their 20s, and ultimately have a solid career.

A parent is only going to look back and regret where their child began college five or 10 years ago or wonder 'what if' if things did not work out for their kid -- ex. failed out, bounced around with transfers, fell in with the wrong crowd, terminally single, wasted years with some loser they met at said college -- and they want to find something to blame.[/quote]

That was our generation. Not this generation. NONE of my younger cousins are married or have kids except one. None of them met their significant other in college or grad school. Most of them have decent jobs, but sometimes very far removed from what they initially majored in. And these are people in their 30s and 40s. [/quote]
