The College Fund Conundrum: A Father’s Tough Love or Unfair Demand?
In a twist of events, a father’s college fund for his daughter comes with a catch! He insists that she must have a clear goal before he funds her education. While he’s open to her studying at a community college or taking more time off to decide, he’s firm on not ‘wasting’ money on a four-year university if she’s indecisive. His daughter, however, is resistant to the idea of community college and desperately wants to attend a four-year institution. Their standoff has left the internet divided. Is the father being reasonable or is he putting unnecessary pressure on his daughter? Let’s see what the world thinks of this situation…
