[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every think-tank type hand wringing over this is from the educated rich that wants the poor to skip this process and go become a plumber or truck driver or whatever.  They do not/will not do that for their kids.  Beware!

College, esp. top college, is still the path to riches.  Think 30-40 years of working.  One simple accident, health issue could easily derail your blue collar job.  Try crawling up the attic when you are 50!  [/quote]

Where did your children attend college should be the first question to anyone pushing vocational school or community college as a viable alternative to a 4 year degree.  [/quote]

Disagree.

My contractor buddy (who manages his business but doesn’t actually get his hands dirty) owns a million dollar home plus a beach house and a lake house and a vacation home abroad. He didn’t go to college.

My plumber’s kids go to private school. He has a nicer house than we do. He also has a beach house, a boat, and a big house in Greece.

That is not typical and they are business owners.  [/quote]
