If you had a grown child about to enter college, would your willingness to help out financially with tuition (assume you can afford it) depend on whether or not you approve of the major they choose?
😂😂😂If you want to be a doctor even with great grades you're going pay $$$$$$. Even if you "help" they're looking at serious debt. They'll be lucky if they're successful enough to pay them off by age 40.
Pay the full boat. I did it with my son. In addition I burned his IOU's to me. I wanted him to start his career debt free. He did work in college as a programmer and systems admin foe car and food expense. I charged him rent after college and working until he left the nest. I put up a lot of party balloon on moving day.
I have a BFA and it's been extremely valuable to my career as a graphic designer. I make decent money in my profession and I've paid off my student loans. So tell me again how an arts degree is useless.
Yes, it's if it's my money they're not going to waste it on a$100,000 degree in art appreciation like my brothers daughter did. What a waste. She can't even work in a museum. The most she could hope for was a job in an art gallery at the mall. Now she arranges flowers for a florist for minimum wage. Great job snowflake. How'd the march in Washington, D.C. Work out for you that your dad paid for too. Idiots.
Ouch. I imagined there could be a lucrative job in appraising the value and determining whether a painting is a real Picasso or such for a fee of, say 10% at its sales price at auction.
That's a completely different degree. These schools should be held liable for courses that there is no job for. Or at least have it in big flashing neon letters when you sign up. But she and her mother believe that the gubment will take care of you.
Our son is about to start college this fall. He is highly ambitious, goal driven and wants several degrees in engineering. We are very supportive of his choice and want him to be successful. He is doing things the right way and couldn't be happier or more proud!
No, I'm most likely not helping regardless. I'm paying for my own. Mine will be done being paid for around 50. So, the kid needs to make smart financial decisions when it comes to college
