The primary purpose of college has shifted from preparing academically strong and committed young adults for specific careers, to a 4-year party-filled postponement of adult responsibilities

Well said, my cousin got money from my mom to attend school, (we were proud when he was accepted, did not really thing he would get in) But later found out that in addition to the college money mom gave, he took out student loans at the same time. For "party" money. Now he has a degree in "film making" and works as a contractor. He is in debt. (He did not move back home though, his parents live in a mobile home.)

I'm sure your mom is a wonderful person, but paying for a kid to get a college degree in "film-making" is just plain nuts.
