Practicing for his debut at Baby Gap

Cooper appears to be a natural but unfortunately he missed the casting call for Baby Gap. Then again the grand prize has a value of $4500 which is mostly made up of travel expenses and a $1000 Gap gift card. According to Boogie Baby Casting a baby can earn "around $50 - $275 per hour for print and up to thousands for a national commercial or TV show". No bad for someone who sleeps 85% of the day. I'd like to think I'm against using Cooper as a money-making venture, however when confronted with the potential costs of college, the idea doesn't seem so crazy.

According to the College Board college savings calculator, by the time Cooper enters college, the cost of a 4 year private university would be ~$388,000! This doesn't even factor in the costs of child care and potential grade school tuition in the 18 years prior to college. Cooper...better start getting your beauty sleep!

  1. I'm sure he will be a male model as soon as he perfects "Blue Steel". I think pacifiers will help. But, I don't think he needs to use his good looks for college - we all know he's going to get a sports scholarship.

  2. Whoa, this is called thinking ahead. I suspect tomorrow's topic will be "How will Cooper retire in 80 year?" And based on what I know about Marcus' sublime PowerPoint skills, I expect it will be nothing short of a full blown 30-page deck with pie charts and bar graphs. Can't wait!
