[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior in HS taking a tough load this year.  He is saying he doesn’t want to go to college, it’s not worth it, etc. Says he can make $ trading stocks, going into a trade, or some other way.  I fear this is a combo on burnout and TikTok influence. I would be fine with him going into a trade but he has never shown the slightest interest in any of them.  Daytrading doesn’t seem like a sustainable strategy.  Thoughts? Similar experiences? Clearly, a summer job is in order so he gets what it is to work.[/quote]

Has he made any money trading stocks? [b]if your family has money, I really don't see the point of going to college[/b].[/quote]

To become an educated person.
To explore interests.
To live semi-independently before living independently and mature.
To pursue a pathway of personal and financial independence and not be beholden to mommy and daddy.
(What if the family money is lost in the future? or you get cut out of the will?)
Future earning potential is not the sole point of college.
