[quote=Anonymous]We make under 150k, my dad is an immigrant, and my mom's parents were immigrants. I grew up solid middle class -- we all got college degrees, but not from top schools. I also got a grad degree that I paid for (in state). My kid was interested in theatre. I have history and theatre degrees and thought that theatre was better than history in terms of employment in the field! But, I was honest that I was not keen on a BFA for several reasons-- I think applied arts are more mature in perspective with a BA, and I wanted her to double major in math to demonstrate serious academics. I also thought that if she were to get into a top school, it wouldn't really matter what the major was because there would be prestige and opportunities from the institution. She was fortunate to be admitted to 2 Ivies and another top 10. So, we're like study whatever you want!!!! Also, the financial aid at these schools was great.[/quote]
