I agree with Bostonian. Although at the rate of tuition acceleration, I am estimating 150K per year in 8 years for an top college. And I definitely wouldn't pay that for a liberal arts college. No way would that be justified.

We have all seen the press on the cost of college and salaries expected upon graduation. If I was buying a car or a stove, I would think about what I need it for, how long is going to be worthwhile, how much does it cost, compared it to others. I look at going to a liberal arts college like buying a Porshe. If you have the luxury of not caring about the outcome after, good for you. I am totally recommending an engineering degree for DD. I don't care what she ends up doing. You can use that degree for anything. But if she can't figure it out, she can always get a job.
