51. My nephew went to USC. His parents took out a second mortgage to pay tuition.

Right now, he's selling real estate in Savannah, Georgia.

He's incredibly successful and happy, but IMHO going to USC was a waste of money.

I, on the other hand, attended The USC (the University of South Carolina) Law School before tuition went sky high, and graduated without any debt. In fact, I had enough extra money to get a commercial pilot's license.

Guess which one turned out to be more satisfying. A hint: when you finish a flight, the airplane doesn't climb into your mind and keep you awake all night trying to figure out what to do next to keep your crazy client out of trouble. The airplane stays parked on the ramp.
