My parents paid for a lot (but not all) of my education. My point was that I doubt someone who's putting themselves through college is going to worry more about their extras then their classes. You're reading the statement backwards. I'm not saying that all people who's parents pay for college =
"flippant" attitude towards class. I'm saying that people who pay their own way (generally) = more serious about education and less concerned with extras.
