“If the elite who can afford spring break vacations and to be in frats behave like this, how can we expect any better from the masses without much to lose?”

You get no argument from me. Actually, After being “victimized” by Boston University to the tune of $200,000 for a worthless “music education” for our youngest daughter (who now works for a general contractor as an admin), I have come to the conclusion that “post secondary education” is just like the “public schools” in that it serves only the interests of the faculty and administrators. The “professors” work (if you can call it that) for six to eight months out of the year, then they “retire” to their summer places in Europe and elsewhere and spend their ill-gotten gain. And who is behind all of this, our beloved government with “student loans” that enslave those who get them for many years for an “education” that serves no useful purpose in many instances.

It sounds like you paid for it, which means your daughter isn't enslaved by a lifetime of debt. That's the best gift a child can have, starting out.

As far as the education being useless, probably not. When your daughter settles down somewhere, it will give her wonderful opportunities to get involved in community and church-related activities.

“$200,000 for a worthless “music education”...”

Damn, them’s some expensive piano lessons! What did they lead you to believe she would be able to do work-wise with such an expensive education?
