I really hate to say something that will tee people off, but here goes. MAKE YOUR KIDS PAY THEIR OWN WAY TO COLLEGE. If it takes them 10 years to finish, tough shi’ite. If I were a very wealthy man, I would not pay for college. If it isn’t earned, it isn’t worth the paper it is printed on. Unless they are going to be a doctor, engineer, or something in the hard sciences, they are better served at the local CC, or learning a trade.

Ah - someone speaks the unspeakable - a breath of air. The undergraduate degree is not providing cutting-edge, must give it 100% of time and effort. The little boys and girls don’t work so they can devote their time to school??! Yeah right. Walk through a college neighborhood on any weeknight and just observe the devotion to eduction. If the kids are working and attending classes they will stay out of trouble because they will be too tired to do much else.
