[quote=Anonymous]I think you should have to answer the following before you post in this thread: A) Did you graduate from a 4-year college B) Are you encouraging your kids to apply to 4-year colleges, and do you hope they are admitted For me, the answers are yes and yes. I’ve been on probably 40 search committees in my lifetime, across three industries. All of these were for what any reasonable person would consider to be a good job with a good salary and good benefits. Each of these jobs required a B.A. I know there are lots of fulfilling, interesting, helpful, good-paying jobs out there that do not require a college degree, and of course I think trade work and skilled labor are immensely valuable. But if we’re going to be honest, I would think the vast majority of us on this thread hope that our kids are admitted to a good, 4-year institution, because that will lead to good employment prospects, and even good social and romantic prospects.
