seems reasonable...

Meh, I would agree if it were talking about high school - but college is unnecessary for many career choices. I know a lot of guys making more money than I do who don't have a fancy diploma hanging on their wall. Plus, they don't get the annoying phone calls from the Alumni Association begging for donations. I've given enough money to the U of A thank you very much.

Or maybe I just feel like being contradictory today... Castle!

Ditto. Not to mention school loans. I have a masters degree and another higher-ed degree, but the job I'm working now doesn't require a bachelor's degree, and it pays more than any job I've had which did.

I guess what I'm saying is, in light of the rising costs of education and the return on the investment thereof, I think it's a more prudent investment to save up to give your kid a little nest egg once they are out - if they want to use it to go to college, more power to them. For me, college was definitely more about the experience rather than anything I learned there.
