For some there is no rush.   But some kids need to start bringing in an income as soon as they finish school and for them, it’s important to think about it early if they want to maximize their earnings potential.

And, even for kids who are going to college, unless you are going to a liberal arts school and view education for education’s sake as a worthy pursuit, kids need some level of direction.

For our kid who is college bound, we started visiting colleges the summer before 9th grade to get her thinking about post high school like - like what area of the country might you want to go, what size school and demographics fit you, which schools offer programs you might want to study, which schools might offer enough aid that you would be able to go there and that sort of thing.  It worked to focus her and by the time she had to start applying, she had it figured out.  [/quote]
