I'd be very happy to get kids and be the one sitting at home taking care of them, and have a wife that can earn more than me anyway. Also she takes care of the investing part so we can retire happily. And paying off a comfortable house. Also, the kids need to go to college and my kids arent going to shittown university - its a top UK uni for them and they need money for tuition and living expenses, and the least we as parents can do is pay the educational costs, since it would suck if theyre heavily in debt straight out of college. I promise, if that part is taken care of, I will raise the kids to be the most conscientious, knowledgeable, open minded, well mannered people.
By top uni, i'm guessing top 10? top 20? Tbh, university league tables are completely overrated (even though i work for a russell group uni), i know many people who have with 2:2's from mid table unit etc and have go on to earn far more than many oxbridge graduates.

It's not the uni, it's the kid, the drive of the adult, and it sounds like you'll be started them off a good footing anyways.

As long as it isnt a local shit college. I want my kids to receive something, if you get what I mean. I don't want my kids seminars to be held by some dipshit who thinks it's their responsibility to learn, and just goes on talking with the chalkboard, assuming his actions lead to learning. I want the college to have a well designed program. Good lecturers. Several type of ways of learning. E.g. when I did maths, like single and multi var calculus, linear algebra etc, we just had shitty ass lectures (youtube lectures were better) and an exam at the end. No projects where an instructor is WITH us and sees that we understand the mathematics in applications. So I don't care if its top 10 or top 20, I care about how their programs are and their reputation on the market (because eventually the kids are going to apply for jobs with their degrees).

Good call, with that mindset there be fine man. Though it still drives me nuts how archaic higher education in it's teaching methods. I once sat in a lecture where the speaker talked about how great technology is in education, yet he didn't implement anything he was lecturing. wtf.

I have spent 4 years of my life on a teaching degree in Sweden (at the top educational institution of the country btw). In all of educational academia in Sweden, the general belief is that there exists no research on different methods of memorization, learning etc. Since Vygotsky figured out that learning is a social behavior, and is reinforced in their approximate environment, it is useless to try and teach. You just let every individual grow in their approximal zone of development. So yeah if you ever wonder why educational standards are so vastly different among social classes in Sweden... well, despite being a first world country, they make damn sure the bottom never gets a clue about anything.

That was awesome.
Admittedly I'm sitting here giddy like a wife on her wedding day :)
