[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents helicopter over kids to get them into “top tier” schools and then completely drop the ball when it comes to helping them choose a lucrative or “impressive” field of study. If you are going to go through all the trouble of hovering over your child so they get into Harvard, why would you pay for them to study interpretive dance?

I’m more impressed by a kid in a pre med program at a mid tier school than a kid studying creative writing at an ivy. [/quote]

Yes
However, I'm not impressed by the kids saying 'I'm pre-med' yet
Anybody can claim 'pre-med' a lot of them fails to enter medical shcool.
I'll hold until they actually get in.

Most importanly what do they do right after the college? 
Did they actually make it to doctors?
Did they actually start working for some highly regarded companies related to the field of sutdy with 6 figure salary potential soon?
Did they advance to a well respected graduate school without speding your own money?
etc.
