Message: [QUOTE="texascpa, post: 2151629, member: 468"] Why is it sad? So far, three of my kids have not gone to college and i don't have to support any of them. One works in the plumbing trade, has a kid and a house. Another is in the Air Force. A third is graduating this year and will have a state certification in cosmetology. She already has a job at a very large beauty supply/hair styling company and will move into a mentorship once she graduates. She will be working full-time by September, probably bringing in 40-50K with $0 debt - YES, from doing people's hair! They are all happy and made the decision themselves. My fourth is unknown at this time. He doesn't have a clue what he wants to do. I am more and more convinced that college is not for everyone and doesn't need to be pushed on everyone. From the loads of debt and many worthless degrees they shovel out, it's just not worth the price of admission in many cases. [/QUOTE]
