Those are skills that are desperately needed in the real world.

Not everyone is interested in drinking and toking and hackey-sack. :p

I'm currently going to a bunk ass school and am graduating in December. The RAs at our dorms were super Nazi's and are all Christian extremists spouting their Christian extremist ideals. What a hell hole.

I'm sending my kids somewhere out of state so they don't have to worry about high school girlfriends or boyfriends getting in the way and screwing up their college experience.

I have lots of pent up anger about my early years of college. SO SUE ME.

Better solution - you let your kids choose their own college.

The Naked University of Honolulu doesn't have enough dorm space to make that work.

Hell no ... not if I'm paying for that shit.

That's the second mistake.

You should encourage your kids to take out student loans during college so that they're encouraged to get a job after college.

bingo. this is what i told the manager at my dads place. dont fret about your kid wanting to change majors 5 times...pay for her gas to get around and maybe a little money for food, and make her work during school and pay her own damn way, even if she needs loans. i dont expect ill get any help from my parents when i go to a local uni next year, at least, not much.

He's in college, and with any luck knows first hand how loose they are.

:thumbsup: to the OP for giving back to the college experience.

LMFAO

I went to a state school and it was amazing how all the prudes in high school all of a sudden decided "sex before marriage was ok if you loved the guy"... and by "loved the guy," they mean "horny." I'm an average looking guy, and I was beating back chicks my freshman year.

lol nice
