]]> Comment on Out of the Dorms and into the Fire by AJ Dell http://www.jessicakunkel.com/?p=336#comment-1344 AJ Dell Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:24:17 +0000 http://www.jessicakunkel.com/?p=336#comment-1344 Well, this certainly is a hot bed. I was thinking back to my college days as related to the first issue of parents dictating a major. My parents pressed the issue a little more than to my liking, and although, they may have eventually decided to leave the choice of a major to me, I chose to handle my college bills myself and selected what I wanted to study. Now that I'm a parent, I would choose not to dictate the major for my child, although I would hope that some reasons I might give for a particular choice might at least be considered. But the choice of a major to me is up to her. This is simply a freedom I would give regardless of the cost of her education. However; once I leave the issue of the college major and step into the non-academic arena of cohabitaion, I feel I must withdraw my financial assistance. To fund an education in a world where it is a must is a choice I would freely exercise. But if she chose to no longer concentrate on that education and felt mature enough to play house, then the financial burden would be hers. Just call me old fashioned.. College has enough distractions as it is. Cohabitation is not on the list of majors. AJ Well, this certainly is a hot bed.
