If he takes a gap year, he can pay for college himself. Since I was posting on DCUM, I thought you would take it for granted that DS would go to college. Going to college isn't a question for DCUM users. People who go on DCUM generally have above-average intelligence and just about everyone who posts on here has gone, or will go, to college. [b]Only lazy people skip out on college.[/b] And as for the 2014 statistic, it's really none of my business what other people do. If they want to waste away, that's their prerogative. In our family, that isn't an option.[/quote]

Wow.  Only lazy people skip college?  How about people who work in trades and work very hard?   You don't sound like you get out much.[/quote]

THIS +100.

To the ignorant poster quoted in bold... how dare you make such a ridiculously blanket statement, you idiotic tool?

My father never attended a single day of college & guess what, genius? He owns the most successful heating, air conditioning, refrigeration & cooling corporation in all of Northern NJ.

He is FAR from lazy.

For 30 years he was out the door by 5am & on the job site by 6am, he was home to have dinner with us every single night by 6pm.  Every single nite without fail.

Now at the age of 60, we've forced him to slow down a bit.
It wasn't easy convincing him, but he finally agreed that the 
30 young guys who work for him are amazing at their jobs & want nothing more than to do a good job for him.  
So now he manages the company, maintains relationships with clients & vendors and negotiates contracts with the cities, counties, state & corporations.

I have never met a harder worker in my life than my father... again, NEVER a day of college.

Oh, and one other point of contention which proves your argument is inanely ignorant & laughable... my father's company earned upwards of $1M last year.

So much for your "only lazy people skip out on college" argument.   :roll:

* sorry to hijack the thread folks, but I cannot stand a sanctimonious tool who thinks they know it all.  [/quote]
