[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if the kid changes their major? A lot do. UVA will give the kid more options. [/quote]

How many wanna be teachers, nurses and social workers end up in IB or PE?[/quote]

There are definitely people who do Teach for America for a few years and then end up pivoting and going into a field where they can make $$$$. I work with several former TfAers who are doing very well. Plus the kids college friends/peer group will likely end up being wealthier and more successful as adults if the kid goes to UVA, which with lead to a better network/increases chances of marrying someone who is successful. As a PP said, there are no sure things in life but it sounds like the OP can stretch and pay for UVA and I bet that investment has a more than 50/50 chance of paying off. [/quote]

I wouldn’t bet $80,000 on a 50/50 Mrs. degree.[/quote]

So absurd.  Some of the most successful couples we know met while students at JMU.  Is it the same poster who keeps making these outlandish claims about UVA?[/quote]
