Transcript
Let me give one thing straight. Do I think parents should be paying for their kids college? Absolutely. But when I have my own kid and they prove that they do not care about academics, they don't show up to school in high school, they don't try all. No. You're not gonna act like you don't care about school and then expect me to fork over $100,000. That's not happening. Number two, I refuse to pay for a useless degree at a super expensive school. Like, if that's your dream school and we don't agree on the major, picking because I know it's gonna screw you over later. I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to re-discuss that. We're gonna have to figure out a backup plan because no. Just no. Furthermore, I have an issue with paying for a useless degree at a super expensive school. Like, if that's your dream school and we don't agree on the major, picking because I know it's gonna screw you over later. I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to re-discuss that. We're gonna have to figure out a backup plan because no. Just no.
