[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care where my kids go to college as long as, at the end of the day, they can afford to raise their kids the way they were raised. [/quote]

[b]Many jobs are doing away with the stamp of college as a requirement[/b].  Hopefully, we'll go back to apprenticeships.  Most of what is needed for any job is learned on the job.  I have a PhD in STEM and I used maybe 10% of what I learned my first 5 years, everything else was learned on the job. Now 18 years in I draw on my experiences and business relationships,  not anything from my education.

As long as my kids can maintain their lifestyle AND, more importantly, get off my books, why do I care about an arbitrary piece of paper?[/quote]

Absolutely and completely untrue. In fact it's the exact opposite. You can't even get a receptionist job at my employer without a 4 year degree. Top school heavily preferred.

You obviously don't work in tech, STEM, or digitalization.  The future is digital my friend.  We develop artificial intelligence and if you can demonstrate competence, no degree required.  Just be prepared to work hard...[/quote]

So you're saying Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math employers are now hiring people with only a high school education? Fascinating. [/quote]

That's exactly what I'm saying.  [/quote]
