I don’t disagree - but they noted law school - but no matter what graduate school is attended (and the odds are good), there will be costs that need to be saved for.
It sounds like the OP has varied interests - often times attorney do end up in roles in a wide variety of areas.
Nonetheless, in general, I believe people should ensure they are planning for the future - and I don’t think anyone is saying otherwise.
Only the OP and the family can no how that future schooling might look financially after four years of undergrad.
@skieurope - I think you answered the initial question in the 2nd message - so you are correct - need is need and Yale isn’t going to match.
