<p>The truth is, if a parent loves his/her child to the highest possible degree, they won’t make sensible decisions. They would rather pull all of their out of their retirement savings just to pay. There really is an inverse relation between rational self interest and love. Not that its a good thing. But thats how it is. </p>

<p>@Barron. And isn’t it strange that usually only people that have to pay themselves agree to this counterintuitive hypothesis? </p>
<p>If your case is true, you would find it in your best interest to turn down a full scholarship to a university to only attend the same university paying out of your own pocket( by slaving away while attending school.). What do you think? Is this a good decision? </p>
<p>Also,define numerous. Is it a hundred? A thousand? Perhaps whats more important is is numerous defined as the majority of a sample size of self-independent students? Perhaps evidence is needed.</p>
