Real life advice

You should consider helping your kid to learn a foreign language of a developed country, such as France, Germany. The investment into private tutor, who will prepare him for TEFAQ or DAF test will pay off in the long run. Once he knows French or German he can apply to really good universities in France, Germany or Quebec(Canada). The education in Europe is really cheap. Its about 1500 euro per year, and his monthly expenses are within 1000 euro. So you end up paying about 15K euro per year. The price range for Quebec province universities is about 7000 CAD per year and about 1000 CAD for monthly expenses.

Overall, the investment in a foreign language will completely pay off. In the worst scenario your son will have a backup plan to move to Europe/Canada and live a normal life.

US is not the only place in this world to get a good education.


Thanks. I had been thinking along those lines, but not quite that far. It is good advice.


I think you should consider reading this book

http://www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/mahasit1.pdf

and/or listen to these talks

https://www.amaravati.org/series/the-collected-teachings-of-...

or anything from within this realm.

Personally I believe there is cure and way out of suffering only in meditation. But don't believe me - try it out.
