Concerned mother refuses to financially support her daughter's acting aspirations in Los Angeles for a year, despite paying for her other children's college expenses: ‘We agreed to support our kids through college’

College isn't for everyone. You have successful CEOs who didn't graduate high school, critically acclaimed actors who were homeschooled since they were 6, and every other exception to the "rule." The rule is conventionality and tradition, in that most people take the college route, so they are better prepared for a high-paying job in a field they are interested in. Not everyone wants to be a businessman or a data analyst, but if you're thinking of making big leaps in an "alternative" career like acting or music, you probably shouldn't expect your parents to foot the bill. Yes, that remains true even if your parents funded your siblings' college education. Why? The two are very different routes, and some might argue that one reaps a better reward.

The mother in this next story refuses to fund her daughter's acting "gap year" so she can pursue an acting career in Los Angeles. It's important to note that the cost of living in LA, aside from the statistics working against struggling actors trying to make it big, is abhorrent. They say to never give up on your dreams, and I stand by that. However, expecting a parent to fund everything for a year in addition to their current expenses is a bit… much.
