Sounds like a great con to me. It's literally worth tens of thousands of dollars.

- emodendroket 10y agoYeah, it's a lot of money to commit to up-front, but it's oddly specific, few people are gonna agree to it, and they could easily just ask to cut the checks directly to the school.
- morgante 10y agoHow is getting someone else to pay for your schooling not a con?

- emodendroket 10y agoWell, if someone says "please pay for my schooling," and you agree, and then your money is actually used for schooling, I think it's a bit of a stretch of the definition of "con" to call it one. Both parties are clear about what's happening -- seems more like a gift than a swindle.
- Kurimo 10y agoMost of the time it's just called "parenthood."
- erikpukinskis 10y agoA con is asking someone to pay for one thing and then doing something else with the money.
