Insecure Parents and Ivy League Degrees
In this season of grads and dads, I’ll admit that if any of my three children had followed their father’s example and chosen to study at Yale, I would have somehow scraped together the money to pay for it.
As it happens, they made other plans: graduating from a distinguished state university (University of Washington) or an excellent religious institution...
