The boy attends the University of South Florida's St. Petersburg campus. 
Tuition for a semester runs between $2000-$3000 including books, depending on 
his class load. So call it $7500/year.

Very affordable.

We have friends whose daughter graduated from Brown and is now in law school at 
the University of Houston. They once told me that tuition at Brown cost them 
around $45k/year.

I could never get my head around that.

Its the idiots that go to a big name school spending $40,000 a year for a degree in 
humanities or something else with no market value. Like anything you need to do some 
research, your "heart" is a terrible guide to these things...
My alma-mater (Fitchburg State University) costs not a ton more now than it did 
when I graduated. I spent about $6,500 a year including room and board. A 
couple years ago I was working with a guy who graduated Emerson about the same 
time I did but he spent around 2x what I did. We had the same basic degree, 
were doing the same job, making the same money but I paid off my student loans 
5 years early...

College seems like a big racket these days to me. I know lots of folks paying 
off student loans all their life that don't really make that much money.

Depends on the education.
On average a degree in anything is a big step up, a degree in something useful 
is a huge step up especially if you've worked real hard and gotten yourself 
some experience through an internship or summer job.

And what exactly is the value of an education these days?

That will be the current approach, but I will replace the car. Back in my day I 
could drive a beater but I don't want my kids driving them. It's a matter of 
personal preference.

The rule here is that as long as you're in school full time the house provides 
wheels and covers expenses.  He's a damned good student and a responsible kid 
for his age. I consider keeping him in a nice car a perk, and he knows it and 
is very, very appreciative. Most
