<p>mommusic, I’ve done all of that. I can be quiet, nod, and he’ll go away eventually, but the cycle eventually repeats. My dad is stubborn and persistant. The only listen to me to say, “You are (age) and you think you know every thing.”</p>
<p>My dad does not believe in those statistics. He stated that his experience says better than those data, and, this is according to what he said, 9/10 of people who go to community college and non-top-tiered universities amount to nothing. I told him that there are plenty of people who go to community colleges and transfer to UVA, and you couldn’t tell from the diploma where they spent the first two years. He said it doesn’t matter, and it isn’t true.</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice though.</p>
