Who the  are you to tell them how to plan.

A college degree is no predictor of success.
My dad had a HS degree.  He was financially successful by anyone's measure.  One of his best friends was an Air Force pilot and a Whorton grad.  He could hardly keep his family afloat.

A bachelor's is pretty much a useless degree these days.  It's the 70's equivalent of a HS degree. Everybody has one. (BTW, of the 21%, how many are UNC degrees.)

If my son were fortunate enough to have an opportunity to just go into his sport right out of HS, I would encourage him to go.  Those are opportunities of limited duration.

IF he decides at a later date he need some particular education to achieve his next goal, he can go get it then.

I bet guys like Bill Gates and Paul Allen (and countless other non-college degreed millionaires and billionaires) wish they had stayed in school.

I don't see you worried about all the kids who sign baseball contracts it out of highschool.

Therefore one can only conclude that you are interested in keeping economically needy kids in college longer than they need to be in order to enhance your sports viewing pleasure and warped connection between your favorite sports teams' success and your self worth.

You should worry more about you and your family than someone else's.
