[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids aren't graduated yet, but some of my friends kids are. [b]Some kids just do better paying for it themselves. [/b]One family I know started out paying, then quit and almost instantly the kid started taking life much more seriously. Some just need that responsibility factor. Maybe the parents plan to give the other kids money Some other way. Maybe the youngest is just a better investment.[/quote] Unless the family qualifies for a lot of financial aid, that just isn't possible for most people now. Best case scenario would be a commuter school and a job willing to work around school hours. More likely is a job that shifts schedules and forces you to start choosing between missing class and getting fired or a night job that leaves you too exhausted for class. It's the delusional boomers who think you can waitress your way through UVA who end up screwing their kids [/quote]
