[quote=Anonymous]I think that you need to reframe your thinking. First, your son wants a degree. For a lot of jobs, it doesn't matter where you went to school, it just matters that you have a degree. I'm not talking nuclear physicist, investment banking, etc. I'm talking jobs for regular people in the real world, not the dcum world. Second, very few people in the U.S. go to the 7 or 8 schools you listed. If you only think people who get into those schools should go to college, you have a very limited world view. I know plenty of people who were not motivated academically in high school who are doing very well 30+ years later. Grades and study skills don't mean everything. Since he needs to take out loans and will be living at home, you may suggest that he start at a community college to save money and then transfer his credits to a four year school. Good luck to your son. He sounds like a great kid. Plus, if he decides that college isn't for him, he can always enroll in a boot camp later.[/quote]
