<p>^^ Desmothenes, I admire your certitude. Incidentally, why did they not discourage you from seeking a law degree? A career in law is by no means financially secure, even without incurring debt. Why did they not encourage you in a career in ibanking, computer science or medicine. </p>
<p>I am indeed the type of parents that encourage their children to pursue her dreams. My D went to a LAC and majored in English. But her confidence in herself did lead to a job in a leading consulting firm. She has been offered a place in HY (did not apply to S) as well as full-tuition named scholarships at three other T14 schools. Perhaps you can see why I do not discourage her from pursuing her dream. Moreover, if she needs my help financially, it won’t be a big deal. One makes choices based on personal circumstances.</p>
