when I started high school, my parents told me they would keep paying as long as I kept making A's.
I made school my job

Yes they should to an extent. The deal with my dad for all the kids in my family was always, if you keep your grades up then yes. If you lose tops, you get nothing.

Naaa man I'm just fricking with you. I'm not embarrassed at what I do right now. It's a job. I've had some great careers that just didn't go as planned and I've have come back to bartending (couple times). And it would surprise some people if they got a peek at the w2 of some bartenders in the city.
I'm back in school right now at Tulane and bartending is the most flexible and lucrative job for me at the time.

My daughter is a senior at lsu. Paid for everything. I'm broke right now but my parents did it for me and I feel it's a parent's duty to do everything he/she can to provide an education. I will do the same for my next two kids.

So is this an argument for not paying for kids education?

I think he is saying "yes you should provide the best way to let your child further their education past HS if you have the means,
Even if it causes you to lovepee frugal than you are accustom."

My take! Should the parents HAVE to support them? Hell no! Only out of love that we do. Nothing is promise no matter what. Most of the young people really think that we have to. WTF is wrong with some of you? Once you hit 18, you are a adult. 
It pisses me off to no end seeing young people taking the parents to court over this. Even pisses me off more that a judge would even hear a case. Dumb fricks!
Now that is all out the way, I did support both of my kids thru school bc I loved them and it wasn't expected of me and my wife to do so.

My parents were rich so I didn't have to get a job until I was 26 and out of law school.
But since they set me up for success, I'll be rich and my kids won't have to work until they're 26, and the cycle continues.
It's a simple, and effective method. I never understood why poor people didn't get this. I guess that's why they're poor lol.

Well mine wasn't and I worked my way thru school. And when it came time for my kids, the wife and I did without a lot of things all thru our kids life's to make sure they went to good schools and had what they needed to be successful in life.

Absolutely not.
Stop calling anyone over 18 'kids' and stop thinking of them and treating them as such.
This notion of adolescence lasting into the mid-twenties is getting out of hand.

Kids these days are more well adjusted then precious generations......
And yeah that's scientific fact backed up by studies and data....
Bet the pisses you off...
Let me take a stab at it.... You're a baby boomer? Ammiright?
Posted on 12/29/14 at 3:00 am to SuperSaint
I've been pleasantly surprised at how no boomer has come in and talked about how easy it was to pay for school back in their day and calling current generations weak for not being able to do the same (while completely dismissing how much cheaper college was in their day, even after adjusting for inflation).

I am. And no, nothing was given to me. What I have, I worked my arse off to get it besides a bunch of land that was given to me. And then, I bought more over the years only to give it to my kids. I will be adding more right after the first of the year to give to my kids. Both of them are doing the same too.
I'm by no means a rich person. We live in our means. I hate it when people think life owns them a free ride.

Not a boomer by any stretch of the imagination, born in 72.
One of my peers has a twenty year old son who still more or less receives an allowance. That is one step removed from being breast fed.
I would have been so fricking ashamed to be living off my parent's dime when I was twenty.
OP asked for an opinion. That's mine.

Fish, you're a good dude. I wasn't implying anything towards you.
And Keys, back in the 60's, everything wasn't completely fricked and you could actually go out, find a job, bust your arse,
And build yourself a career. Businesses were loyal to their employees, they were able to afford taking care of them.
Now a 4 year degree is about the equivalent/looked at like as having a HS diploma in the 60's...You didn't have to put yourself in drowning debt to get a 4 year degree that was "looked at about like the HS diploma"...
There are many more factors they go into helping an "18 yo" further their education, at this point, and it isnt the same as sending your kid to get a job back jn the 60's
not calling out hish schoolers ans parents of the 60's, just a date i picked rendomly
