[quote=briansd1]BG, you make very points. Each student’s situation is different.
But you over complicate things. Generally speaking a good education is better than a bad one.
Parents who teach their kids well and make them study are better than parents who indulge their kids to be mediocre.
I have Asian friends who complain about being held by their parents and society to high standards. I tell them to live up to the high standards despite the pressures. If at all possible, you want to be better, not ordinary.[/quote]
My rant was not about any of these things, brian. There’s nothing overly complicated about incurring massive debt. Would YOU like to be 22 or 23 with no job in sight hanging out in your old bdrm at home with student loan payments looming after you spent four years at UCSB and racked up $64K in loans (mostly for living expenses)??
