Never had a child, myself, but if I had, he would have never got a dime for college unless he was going into a field that required a degree.
Trade school, maybe, but not a bigbox college.
I see it the same way.
If my kid asks me for major help getting through college and is pursuing a degree in basket weaving or under water masturbation, I’m not helping.
It’s an investment. There is supposed to be a return!
