I cannot agree more.  A College education is an absolute must in this day (
not to mention 16 years in the future when my oldest starts College).  I
have had several friends myself who had not gone to college.  And while it
is not always a possibility for families, if there is any means to make it
happen, do it!!!  Sell the car, cut back, start a fund, invest now for
later, do whatever is necessary to ensure these children have all the
opportunities they can in their lives.

When I was born my parents set up a trust in my name to fund my 
college education.  It meant the world to me and I will do the same 
for my children.  I had friends who could not enjoy the college 
experience and get as good of an education due to having to work a 
full time job making barely enough to cover living expenses, not to 
mention tuition which they will be paying off for a long while.

Sincerely,
Misha
