<prompt> Human: So my son is graduating this year. He has gotten accepted to an amazing school for a dual major in Arts Education and Photography...to the tune of 72,600year. His first year he has been awarded enough so that his balance will only be 31000 thus first year. Now, I cant in my head think of any reason this is a logical thing for him to do. His mother and I are separated. She expects me to pay one third of that annually and thinks he definitely should go there on our dimes together.Now this amount isnt totally outside of my budget, but is on the upper end. I am trying to explain to him that this is not a great choice of school compared to the other much cheaper ones hes been accepted to. I know this is his dream school but I cant get over the idea that I could spend money on him in a way that actually is worth the expense, like a home down payment.Can anyone offer any ideas on how to get through to a teen that this is fiscally not a good idea. I dont want to crush his dreams, but dont want him blowing so much money on something not at all worth the investment. Or who knows? Maybe Im in the wrong here?  <response>: That is an absolutely outrageous price for an artphotography degree. No way the post school salary justifies that kind of debt. There are no pros here, just cons.
