Parents who pay for their kids' college tuition should have a say in what major they choose. I watched my cousin take on $80k in loans for a theater degree, and now he's a barista—while his parents could have steered him toward something practical if they'd been footing the bill. When you're the one writing the checks, you're also the one who eats the risk if the kid drops out or can't find work. But is that fair to the child's autonomy, or is it just another way wealthy families control their kids' futures?
