We are supposed to be in Florida right now. I am really sad, and worried, about DS21’s future in general, and college plans specifically. Personally, I have a lot of doubt now about the Benacquisto and its short-term viability over the next few years. I just don’t trust that it will be there for us. So, we are looking closer to home, and also hoping that MIT, Harvard, U Chicago, and the other schools interested in DS21 for football which have enormous endowments might actually ratchet up their grants and scholarships given the state of the world. My job is secure for the moment, and given that I work in medical devices I’d say that I’m a lot safer than so many people, and for that enormously grateful, but I feel zero sense of stability or security. Certainly, the idea of paying more than $10-15k per year for college just seems extraordinarily high risk to me. I’m thinking long and hard about what my income needs to be over the next decade or two so that I can retire before I drop from exhaustion!
