Is your child's happiness over a 4-year period more important than the monetary value of a college degree?

Before your high school-age kids start looking at colleges, there are countless factors to take into consideration. Cost is no small question for many folks — is the sky the limit when it comes to tuition, or do you have a spending cap? Is the perceived worth of a diploma which graduates from specific colleges walk away with important to your family? Or is the value of specific majors in the job world more critical to your criteria?
