THINGS I WISH MY KIDS WOULD ASK ME

Editor’s note: Barry Courter has a 22-year-old son who recently graduated from college and an 18-year-old daughter who is a senior in high school.

Q: Dad, some of my friends are interested in study-abroad opportunities. What do you think?

A: I have no practical experience with this, but it seems like a great chance to discover new things. I would suggest approaching it like anything else. Find several people who have done it, and pick their brains. Ask about the pros and cons.
