Response to Finley

I agree with Finley that Rahul's parents need to let him foster his passion.  The arts may be a more difficult way to make money, but college is not about letting yourself make money, it is about creating an identity for yourself.  I was at Boston College this pas weekend, and a pastor spoke to the accepted students and parents in attendance that day.  He told the parents that the goal of college should not be so that the child makes money, but that the child emerges happy and with a love for himself, so that he can then use this to serve other people.  At a time when Rahul is looking for happiness, he is instead shut down by his parents.
