[quote=Anonymous]I went to a good school and currently find myself unemployed at 48 for almost 10 months.

There are no guarantees in life.

My kid barely got into college, tried it for a year, failed out, and currently is working in the field she was aiming for anyway with no degree. I mean, she’s employed and paying some of her own expenses (not all, but she’s 19) She likely will go back and get a specialized degree at the community college level.

Searching for a college for her opened my eyes to exactly how many options were out there. This area is such a pressure cooker and I grew up thinking college or die, basically (I was in the top 10 at a college prep school in another state) I looked at so many schools across the country for her and fell in love with some schools most on this board have never heard of and/or would never even consider. But I truly enjoyed the journey, even though in the end, college wasn’t really her path.

So, yes, I definitely think this board and this area is a particularly strange bubble. [/quote]
