| 0:00.0 | KVJJ Court here, a disagreement. |
| 0:05.0 | Who's right, the husband of the wife here? |
| 0:07.0 | It's about their son's college fund. |
| 0:09.7 | Got this email mail at kVJ show.com. com it says my husband and I started saving for our son's |
| 0:15.7 | college when he was a baby we had a small stipend set aside from each of our |
| 0:19.6 | paychecks and by the time he turned 18 there was $200,000 ready to send him to almost any school he chose. |
| 0:27.0 | Dang! |
| 0:28.0 | As high school graduation approached my son instead chose to get a job. He wanted to repair boats and now I spent the last five years doing just that and making decent money |
| 0:39.3 | but he says he could make a lot more if he opened his own boat repair place. But that is going to cost money. |

| 1:19.6 | to open up his business? |
| 1:24.8 | Ooh, that's a hard one. I don't think I would give it to him for that. |
| 1:29.1 | He's not using it for the intended purpose and I kind of agree with the dad the degree never goes |
| 1:36.3 | away the business could fail and go under yeah this really is tough to the point where yeah you do. |
| 1:44.6 | I mean, I see what both of them are saying, the dad is right, that the college degree doesn't |
| 1:50.1 | go away, but you know, there are many things you could argue as well how many people actually |
| 1:54.0 | use their college degree for what their profession winds up being so even though you |
| 1:57.4 | have that it doesn't even really help you sometimes in life look this kid |
