4monsters4me I also do not feel it is the parents' responsibility to pay their children's way through college. I have been on both ends. My first year of college my dad paid full for it (room and board, too). I had a part time job to get spending money. It almost...

jellybean80 I don't think that it is really being said that a college education is needed for a good life, I think that's your interpretation of it, but I do understand your point. I don't think that it should be the parents responsibilty to put their children through...
