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!
