[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a load of bullshit.

"Cool story, however the reality is that student debt is becoming a national crisis and these people are demanding debt cancellation and forgive at the expense of tax payers.
I bet all these people were thinking like you in the beginning."

My kid was admitted to VCU Arts. It would cost less than half of what we saved in their 529 account. They're going to a SLAC instead where they major in philosophy and pursue their art interest on the side. They'll still have money left over in the 529 when they finish that degree thanks to merit awards. I have zero concern that they'll figure out how to make a comfortable living doing something they enjoy. Pushing your kid to do something that pays $X upon graduation is for small minded people. As someone else said, why limit them if you can afford to let them expand their world?

I attended a HSYP and a T14 law school. Tons of my classmates majored in art, philosophy, Afro-American Studies, Latino Studies, and so on. We're all doing just fine financially. [b]But more importantly, we do work that makes us happy to wake up in the morning. [/quote][/b]

Very few T14 lawyers like their work.  Very few[/quote]
