I have to say that College sure has changed since I attended back in the day.. My son just got three full semester credits for a week and a half trip to Paris! It is being offered under the guise of having something to do with his international business/MBA degree. I sure don't remember anything even remotely similar when I went to college, and believe me, I would have found it.. I now feel cheated somehow!
So anyway, he had a blast, got to do some of the standard sightseeing including (of course) the night life in Paris and visited a few 'international' companies with headquarters over there. And got 3 credit hours for it.
And for the almost $2K that it cost me to send him (airfare/hotel/meals/university fees/etc..), he brought me back a really cheesy "Paris" tourist cap and a 99 cent disposable lighter. Gotta love him, at least he thought about me for a couple of milliseconds
Cheers,
Brad
