Another angle to consider for parents responding to this thread, I’m hitting a different end of the spectrum -

Would you continue to pay for college if your kid is taking an ‘easy major’ (one that requires a minimal amount of work), is taking the minimum number of units consistently, and is spending a considerable amount of time partying or at other non-school related activities? Many in this category, especially when they’re loaded with AP credits, could easily and comfortably obtain their degree within 3 years but stretch it to 4 years to enable more partying time. Would you support this by paying for (and enabling) their choices unquestioningly?
