Should you pay for your child's college education?

A college education is almost required now to get a good job. I am not thinking about my future. I am concerned about their futures. I want my sons to grow up and make a difference and be able to get a good job. I am an adult and I have put away money for my retirement. My kids are just starting out. My husband paid for his college tuition but these days, it is almost impossible to do this with the price of most colleges being so high. I am hopeful that they will appreciate the fact that we are helping pay for almost all of their college but they will have to work during the summers, get some small loans and put forth effort. If they get c’s and d’s and play video games each day instead of going to class then they will be on the hook for it all. (and most likely they will be back home going to community college)
