Seriously, why do people do that?
I have been frowned at by friends when I told them that I've made it clear to my kids that I will only pay for a degree that will get them a job. Interestingly, all my kids go for either engineering or business. None of them go with gender studies or art history or sociology. Imagine that.
Vanderbilt has a great education program, I'm told. If someone takes out loans to pay for that, they are fools, and should not be educating our children.
