[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.

You missed the point of the PP above you.

Where do (or will) the kids of your contractor buddy and plumber go to college? Will these wealthy parents be advising them to skip the pricy 4-year degree?[/quote]
