“Eighty thousand of America’s bartenders have bachelor’s degrees.”

And yet, I’m STILL under-served, LOL!

I told my kids I would not be putting one PENNY toward their education, unless they went to Technical College to learn an actual TRADE. You know, SKILLS that they could TRADE for MONEY?

They did so and are thriving.

I wasted my father’s money for two years in college getting quite good grades but with no earthly idea what I wanted to do with it. I finally said that’s enough and enlisted.

I’ll pay tuition for my granddaughter to go to a Christian college within a 100 mile radius assuming that I have full access to her curriculum and grades with veto power and that she keeps a B average on a full time load. I’d like to throw in that she participates in at least one sport. This summer (she’s 14), I hope to get her through the programs available for kids at local shooting ranges for hand gun and rifle. That later is only if I can separate her for any length of time from her two best friends. These girls only travel in packs which I think is a survival technique but still.

NONE of my five ever displayed a desire to go to college

The three boys were all always, dirtball, get your hands greasy, I wonder how it works, take it asart and leave it forever broken blue collars ... all working class heroes earning good money with wives and chi'rins

Both girls had sense and taste and chose men to be wives and mothers to and for /8^) ... and have a pretty good life with their families


SOME of their friends that went on to college came back pregnant no husband and can't seem to hold meaningful work

All we ever did was drag them to church and home school them

You’re right.

My brother didn’t finish college and has consistently made more money than other college ‘graduates’ in our family.

LOTS more.
