Thanks for everyone’s comments. Interesting examples, discussion and opinions and I respect them all. I am happy that things have worked out so well. As I have said before, I have never met anyone who has said a bad thing about MU or the education. I think my son is receiving a top notch, first rate education at MU and because of his scholarships it is extremely affordable to his family. For that I am grateful.
Based on my experience in business over the last 25 years, I would still say that his best bet for landing a great job out of the box (in business) and making a strong income to pay off loans would be best served at the highest tier he could get into. I don’t see MU having the market appeal outside of big metro areas of Milwaukee and Chicago. Since the job market is so strained, it seems to me that you would want to have the best curb appeal one can get. But this is my opinion and I know everyone else disagrees.
I am in a different situation as I own my own small business and have never taken a pay check. I don’t go on vacation and I don’t plan on retiring. Any savings that we have collected over the years has paid our household expenses and placed in tuition funds. If my kids are successful, they understand they will help out their parents if necessary. That is the way they were brought up. Thanks for your insight. God bless all.
