Opie: OKAY, OKAY WE GET IT NOW!

Actually, you did “ask for it” a bit in post 17 with the reference to the Stanford meeting and “Why would I pay, etc…” Your position did become clearer later. However, it’s not much of a solution for kids already in a great college and still being henpecked about their choices — the realization that they might have to pay for college themselves or leave a place like MIT was no doubt causing some of the sobs the OP overheard. Some students might well be strong and determined enough to pay their own way and get that degree; but another might just commit suicide.
