Spring4:

If any of us are better off than the people in this article, then yes, luck played a role. I feel sorry for anyone who can’t see that. That sort of ego problem is sad.

I will disagree about luck playing a role for “any” of us. Given his job status I am guessing that I am in a similar economic situation as the couple in question. I too have two Ds. I would not have allowed my children to consider NYU. Not because it’s not good school but simply because we could not afford it. What the couple chose to do was irresponsible not bad luck. I’m sure there are any number of schools that two young ladies smart enough to get into NYU could have been accepted to and received enough aid to make it affordable without taking out crippling loans (note I didn’t say loans). I had figured out what we could afford to contribute and my kids knew what that was. They could apply anywhere but getting accepted was only part of attending. I do pity the couple but this was primarily their creation.
