My sister is married to someone who has 13 siblings. Most have their college degrees. They're good people. It's no big deal.
Jim Holt (the guy that failed in his Republican run for US Senator-AR last year), IIRC, also has a lot of kids (though not anywhere near 16.)
Both of these families are on pretty limited incomes--the pay for being an Arkansas state senator is around $14,000 a session, and one of them (Holt or Duggars) doesn't have another job. I'm sure the wife pitches in but either way they're both saving every last penny as I understand things.
And they should be. You thought paying college for one kid was bad...
