“$6 million to get your kid into Yale.
What is wrong with these people?”
Yes, our youngest daughter was accepted to virtually all of the schools mentioned. She ended up going to Boston University and obtaining a Degree, Magna Cum Laude, in Performance Music (Opera). She’s working as a Marketing Manager. Never did squat with her “degree.” And no one in her family paid off anyone for her to gain admittance, but we’re are still paying on our home mortgage for her tuition.
The whole university “system” across the country is predicated on liberating parents life savings (or student loans) for mostly useless degrees from equally useless “professors” (who earn inordinate salaries far beyond their worth as teachers) who spend a large portion of each year living large off of the money they earn in some far off place.

Not for nothing but you could have said no. I’m sure UMass has a similar program for a lot less.
A father I know told his three daughters he would not be paying for their college tuition. He would help but they had to find their way if they chose that route. All three now are successful and working in their field of interest..they did not go to college. They did however choose high school work study programs which gave them a head start in one year programs that followed after high school...and they continue to update their skills by attending work shops in their field.
