[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I’d support that. I realize I cannot control my children indefinitely and they are independent people with their own interests and passions. Will I provide input and advice? Yes. Will I withhold support just because of their chosen college major? No.[/quote]

Once they are independent of my money then they get to indulge their interests and passions independently of my wishes.[/quote]

So until then they are your puppets to control? And what college majors exactly do you deem worthy? Nice relationship![/quote]

I don’t control them. They are free to choose whatever they want. And I am free to choose whether or not to pay for it.

Fortunately I raised sensible kids who will not major in anything as idiotic as English Literature.[/quote]

English major here. I gasped and clutched my ever-present pearls after I read your cruel words regarding my beloved major.

It has served me well. Every company needs a writer, a proofreader, an articulate communicator and able researcher. Hire me and you get the total package.

I have written and edited government proposals, grants and contracts, complied corporate histories from archival collections, conducted subject interviews, been the face and voice of leadership during a crisis, written speeches and submitted detailed, persuasive reports to enact immediate change.
