[quote=Anonymous]Forget 20, when you are born to a family were all the adults are drop outs and you don't have a good role model for academic success, how do you make choices that will lead to college? If your parents did not read to you or make you do your homework or where not in a position to help you with your homework even if they want to?

Only 1/3 of the population is going to complete a 4 year college degree. The vast majority of the population will end up in fields that do not require a college degree. Many of those professions are capable of providing for a family but a large number are not.

The ability to make the choice is limited to people who have far more choices from an early age. For many people, there is no choice. A parent has to stay home because there is no affordable day care. Or jobs with the flexibility to take care of a sick child or a child on a snow day are hard to fine.

Those of us with the choice are fighting over which choice is better, which is ridiculous. Little is being done to try and expand affordable child care options. We are struggling to figure out how to break the cycle of poverty and the drop out cycle.

But by all means, lets keep sniping at each other about the choice that you made or didn't make.[/quote]
