I agree.

My mom paid for me to go to UT. I started engineering, partied to business, and then partied some more until I barely graduated with a BA in Economics. A couple years later, I got my head on straight and went to UH for engineering. When I asked for money from mom, she said, "I paid for you to go school, now it's your turn."

I paid for my engineering degree by working and with a couple of loans. I'm sure it was a combination of being older and paying my own way, but I did much better the second time around.

My plan is to pay for my son's education as long as his grades are stellar. As his grades drop, his funding will drop even faster.
