Another Way to Blow $10k... Part II

Already done the uber-expensive study abroad and still have cash to burn? Well... it is summer... which means one thing: Time for an over-the-top summer camp!

First, let's state the obvious: Of course I'm just jealous. I mean, two weeks of sailing the Caribbean (#6)? Who wouldn't be.

But just as obvious: All earlier comments on over-the-top study-abroad programs still is applicable. There is no magic bullet--and spending lavishly on a recreational camp experience is more likely to backfire than help (who wants to admit the spoiled rich kid?)

So instead -- go find something local that you're passionate about and engage on that. And most importantly,  enjoy your summer -- they'll disappear all too quickly! ---CJ
