[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to community college. I'm a legal secretary and earn about $76k. I'm engaged to a plumber who didn't go to college. He earns six figures.

College is not the end all be all everyone wants it to be. [/quote]

I just want to add to this, that i come from a family where everyone has masters degrees and PhDs and law degrees. Everyone - all the cousins, the aunts & uncles, everyone. Not just my parents. I just really suck at learning in a school environment. My parents encouraged me to get the training and schooling I could get through that would lead to a career that would support me. It took me five years to get that two year degree. I had to re-take three classes, and went from low F's to D's when I re-took them. College is not for everyone. I'm smart, I read all the time, I can talk to you about Real Housewives or physics easily.

What your DD wants now may not be what she wants in two years. She may change her mind. My parents never thought of themselves as losers because they couldn't get me through a four year school. Let your DD be her own person as long as she's productive and happy. [/quote]
