I guess if they are spending 30-50k a year on their kid’s education, they want to see some sort of return on that investment.

- renegade-otter 2y agoI don't think they are paying for education - they are paying for the "experience". What school you go to effectively does not matter after your first job. It's easier to go to a cheaper state/city college and then take your first job severely underpaid. You will still be much better off than $200K in the hole and learn actual skills useful in the job market.

The person you responded to was jokingly implying that the parents paying for the education were trying to get a return on their investment by enjoying themselves during parents weekend. In the case of the parents paying, the student isn't in the hole for anything.
