As a parent you have to be obsessed to the right level that when it comes time for the decision. Have all factors which need to be considered been considered by your children? Many of these kids lack the interest, bandwith and experience to net out the entire big picture of picking school A over School B. Have they gone to the webpages, have they made the value judgements between schools based on some decision matrix. Kids can reach a emotional decision rather than a factual one and this is where the parents experience, knowledge have to come in. As an example with many kids the Financial elements and outcomes of the decision (loans, parents ability to pay) ect just aren’t all that important. I think many Parents who post here have similar concerns thats why they tend to be so active and engaged. One just needs to pickup the USA today and read some of these case studies of post college graduates.
