The economy is very cruel and those who are more performant, those get better jobs. <br>______________________________<br><a href="http://www.easysavercancellations.com/" rel=follow rel="nofollow">ez saver</a> Although your psychological explanation is somehow logic, not all parents go to college because they have fears, but mainly because they want to study and get a better job after graduating.

But what does this actually tell us ? We already see that our parents have (in most cases) tough times adapting to all the new technology and stuff but It's our duty to educate them in this manner. They aren't enrolling because either they are not aware of the program or scared of some sort. We must help them overcome their fears.<br>____________________________<br><a href="http://www.blairrewardscancellations.com/" rel=blair rel="nofollow">blairrewards</a> Although the idea of a discount may attract parents, the rate is fairly new and not many parents are enrolled.

It's great to see that an university offers discounts for them because sometimes they lack the courage to go on with education. <br>____________________________________<br><a href="http://www.blairrewardscancellations.com" rel=follow rel="nofollow">blairrewards</a> This things happen very often and in college I had about 10 colleagues that had 50+.

First Jill and Dave should stop watching scary sci fi movies. My name is Jeanne and I am one of those parents receiving the tuition break. As many of you know, raising children is not an easy task (but the love you eventually see in their eyes for the sacrafices you make is easy to digest). I'm a little worried that Dave and Jill here (being younger)don't see the real issues with our country and families. Many of these parent students are trying to achieve what they could not or advance their education to help our sons and daughters - because being a parent doesn't end with the number 18, 25 or 30 years old. It is a lifetime commitment to that child and by showing them all things are possible, by your actions, instead of lecturing, (which we all know goes in one ear and out the other) may be of a more direct influence. I have spoken with many parents who have graduated from CMU Off-Campus programs personally and during their graduation during my employment they are as happy as the day you were born. All achievements should be celebrated whether nationally or personally. On another note for Jill and Dave on that tone of selfishness in your comments.... What have you done for your school and country lately? Jeanne McCormick Proud Off Campus CMU Student. In regards to the above negative replys on the parent tuition rate.

My parents at least feel bad for our generation and are very scared for us. They actually don't blame me for not having kids because the future is bleak like some scary sci fi movies.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Baby Boomers are killing our great country, running up debts and cowardly avoiding big entitlement programs for our future to deal with. In one generation they've formed and popped two financial bubbles, and probably a devasting one yet to follow. Baby Boomers and Seniors don't deserve any discounts, they already used most of them up. I hope the Jacob Wonders of the world understand what their parents have done to this great country and make the seniors pay! Yet another stupid freebie for Baby Boomers.
