[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We insisted our son get his degree before pursuing carpentry. He’s apprenticing with a master carpenter and does truly beautiful work. But education is important no matter what you do. I would insist on at least two years in community college before joining a trade. [/quote] You’re a snob and a half. What part of “traditional education isn’t ‘for’ some people” doesn’t make sense to you? You’d enforce a two year stint of possible misery if your kid didn’t thrive in academic learning? To what end? I have three kids, none at this age yet, but so far two of them are good scholastic students and one really does not thrive in school. If he finds a trade, I’m not going to force him to be miserable at college. And your worldview could be flipped as follows: why did you quit learning about your world when you graduated?[/quote]
