[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no question that we have to reassess the purpose of college.  But I can’t help but think that the sudden anti-higher education sentiment is part of a bigger agenda by the people in power to try to convince poor/middle class/UMC to skip college[b]. Are the elites going to stop sending their kids to college?[/b] [/quote]
Exactly.  DH was saying how "not everyone should go to college or needs college".  I asked him, "Are you going to tell our kids to not go to college, then?". His answer: "No, our kids are different." LOL[/quote]

As someone from a blue collar family, no one was encouraged to go into the trades if you had skills best used elsewhere. It’s very hard on the body & I know everyone talks about the plumber they know making 250k/yr, he’s either the owner of a plumbing business & doesn’t to site work or maybe he does all the overtime shifts & literally only works & sleeps? It’s not a “make bank” career doing the actual trade work/not owning the business [/quote]
