Good point. Just the pressure from my parents would've probably been enough to push me to go to college anyways... Taxes here are pretty high, I guess, but realizing the costs in the US for health care and college makes me happy to live here. And from the brief time I spent in the US I didn't get the feeling that people in my 'class' (first-generation middle-class, white, educated) were living more comfortably than I was.
