No motivation there. What are the chances that the kid will ever get

I doubt if much Wayne. I know some professional students who have never had a working job in their life.

One is 48 and working on his 3rd doctorate. Also a fellow in a prestigious northeastern university. As long as there's grant money coming in...


Part of that is the stupid way college loans work. As long as you are
still in school, you don't have to start paying on your loans. After a
while you can't afford to leave school. That is great for the schools,
terrible for the student. It makes school a fiscal addiction that has
withdrawal problems worse than smack.
