[quote=Anonymous]last thing to add... even if you play in college, 99.99% of college players end up playing in amateur / adult leagues.

Of the ones who are lucky enough to receive a check for playing, 60% of THOSE players will do it for 1 or 2 years before joining amateur / adult leagues and making a living.

In other countries, the leagues are set up so you become a pro between 17-20 and that's your career. from 17-20 you are training with full professional adult athletes every day, almost year round, who make a living by playing soccer and who are battling to either keep their starting spot or to fight for one.

College soccer is fine for playing a sport at a high level. But unless you already are extremely gifted, making a living by playing soccer in the US is just a fantasy. Let your kids enjoy the sport, play at a high level, and reach their goals, then they can take that to other aspects of life, and they will have a sport to play and be a fan of throughout their lifetime too.
