• Some parents tell their kids that they won't pay for their college unless they major in something practical and high-paying. The mom in this story had no real control over what her daughter majored in because she wasn't the one paying for her daughter's schooling. Her daughter is a couple of years out of graduation now, and she's regretting taking on student loan debt to get a theater degree. Her daughter wants her mom to pay off her loans, but her mom is wholly unwilling to do so. 

• Am I the bad guy for not giving my daughter the money to pay off her student loans?
