I have to make a decision. I may get a full-time position at USC. The salary would be slightly lower then now, but the department is growing (opportunities). Job responsibilities are the same. Points to consider:
SELLING POINT
1. If I work at USC, my children get USC undergrad education FOR FREE. I have 4 children, so financial sense is obvious.
2. On the other hand, commute to USC and back takes 3 hours. My current commute is 30 minutes, both ways.
3. USC makes financial sense if 1) my children apply and 2) accepted. Currently, all my girls are in school and all are getting good grades. Of course, nobody can predict the future.
QUESTIONS
1. Is USC a good school for undergrads (I don't know their future majors!)?
2. Do I restrict my children's options? They are good students. Do I sell their future?
3. What would you do?
Generally, our family is prepared to pay for children's education. Money are short, but available. On the other hand ... if USC is for free .... money may be used for other needs.
