[quote=Anonymous]Well, I didn't learn any real critical thinking skills until I went to college. Literature, philosophy, writing, foreign languages -- they all helped shape who I am today. That knowledge gives me context when I'm making decisions, both at work and in my personal life. I didn't get much of that in my K-12 education. So I've always thought of college as critical. My son wants to be a police officer, which I think is fantastic. I still want him to get a four year degree. However, he is getting much more of those skills and that type of knowledge while still in K-12. So perhaps it is no longer as important to go to college. The debt is crippling. And I'm very sad that is such a barrier these days. Most of the middle class folks I know who have gone to college recently, did so on a part-time basis. It took them 8-9 years to finish, while working full-time, specifically to avoid that debt. [/quote]
