[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand[b] why you are trying to put your daughter at a disadvantage in life by limiting her college choices to state colleges when you have the means to pay for the most elite ones[/b]. 
It does matter where the degree is from in terms of future opportunities, connections made in college, and quality of education. [b]Don't you want your child's opportunities to be only limited by her talent and her willingness to work hard?[/b] Why are you limiting them even further? Shouldn't your daughter go to the best college she can get into? 
I did, when I was fresh off the boat immigrant, and it is incongruous to me why a parent would deny his child this opportunity.

Are you going to take your millions to the grave with you or invest in the future of your progeny[/quote]

OP is not limiting her.  He is telling her to make an informed choice about the costs of college. If he is paying, he should have some say in what school she chooses.  If she spends less on undergraduate by going in-state and plans grad school, perhaps Dad can help with the money she saves him.  We are in no position to really judge OP.  If she wants "elite" I am certain West Point, Air Force, Navy or the other service academies are quite viable options.

And PP, seriously, someone is limited only by their talent and willingness to work hard?  Sounds like you had a silver spoon! [/quote]
