[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16511073, member: 191643"] That's kind of an odd way of putting it, but if it's a serious question, I guess the answer is, "Yes, I would start signing checks." For starters, I believe I owe all my kids the same opportunity. So the best to the worst would get the same deal. I think I said before that I believe what a kid gets out of education is not limited solely to how much more they will make over their career. There are a lot of intangibles that have value not necessarily measured in $. That said, any look at stats will show that on average a college educated person will make more than one who is not. This will not be applicable on the individual level as a person's drive and work ethic will also come into play. We have all heard of billionaires who dropped out of high school and trust fund kids who amounted to nothing despite their father's getting them into their old school by donating a library. Some of those kids even hump their brother's widow and end up with a crack pipe hanging from their slack jaws. There's no guarantees. My three kids all got a university degree(s) which yes, I encouraged and paid for. Two are in degree related careers while the third is not. All make six figures. All are daughters. I thought it doubly important that a daughter be independent financially and in every other way from her husband, just in case. I think most guys with daughters would agree that it's a pretty good form of insurance. I'm not saying a degree is for everyone. Just that everyone should have the chance to succeed in the best way for them. No offense intended, have a great day. [/QUOTE]
