Thanks for the good advice and info. She will NEVER join the military (she would automatically be an officer), even though there are lucrative scholarships (with a generous living stipend, no less), especially with the Air Force. We (her parents) consider ourselves libs, but in her eyes, we might as well be Ronald Reagan. By the way, my parents, who are pretty well off, were WWII vets. Got undergrad/grad degrees on the GI bill (I think) at Northwestern, U of Wisconsin/Madison, and UCLA, told me and my sibs, “We will pay for SDSU, but that’s it.” We all took them up on that, but I resented it for years. Now I understand. I can’t stand Dr. Laura, but I do like it that she always says, “You don’t owe your kids a college education.”
