Martin gibson: what about the kids who do not have a daddy that works hard to "put them through college"?

I'll bet you also have the money to buy them a car and a computer, too.

As a mature student with two teen-aged kids, I had to compete for grades with kids like yours. They went home everynight to a home cooked meal, a brand new computer and many opportunities I did not have. I also graduated with a debt of $50,000.00. I chose to do this and do not regret it but...

Get a grip. I doubt if you or your kids would have the motivation, the savvy, or the determination to put yourself through university if you had to pay for it yourself. Tell your kids to get a job and put themselves through college - then we'll see if you have a broader perspective.
