I was assisting with a high level interview this week and my associate dropped this question: "Three ladies get on a train. The train is full. You want to give up your seat.

One lady only has one leg and has a crutch.
One lady is pregnant.
One lady has a young child with her.

To which do you give up your seat and why?"

Meanwhile I'm over here wondering how this question is applicable to the interview...

I’ve been asked some really weird questions in interviews, but that one takes the cake. I wouldn’t even know how to answer it. Not to mention, it really doesn’t have anything to do with the job.

Right? Like... its so random and not even relevant so... why? 😂

My thinking is you stand up and announce "would someone like to have my seat", the 3 of them will defer the seat to another if they don't think they need it themselves. I don't think it's right to pick a person to take your seat, but offering it up is good enough

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
