[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School just isn’t fun anymore. It’s not about exploration or making friends. From one year before they start tracking math in your neighborhood, it’s about executive function and taking all the right classes. And it never ends. You might as well stop spending money and start making money, because you’re not having fun anyway. [/quote]

There isn’t a lot of room for creative exploration in school any more, either at the college or HS level. It is all about the grade grind. That makes it boring and if you are going to grind you might as well get money for it. [/quote]

Are the kids happier once they start working? [/quote]

My sister graduated a semester early from swarthmore and started working a month after graduation at a faang company and was so much happier (though now she appreciates and likes swat, at the time she was always getting in trouble with admin over pot and not showing up to class)

She preferred earning money and being able to smoke weed any time she wanted.

I’m glad that she can function at such a high level in spite of smoking up all the time.  That’s impressive. [/quote]

We are a middle class family, the opportunity cost of 100k was worth it

(Started working six months early, 60k roughly in pay, plus saving a semester of tuition/housing etc [/quote]
