[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the whole narrative college is better because you can have a professioanl career to make "big money". [b]Figure out what you are actually saying first champ[/b].

LOL.  What is that supposed to mean?  College isn't better for everybody, my point was that if a kid wants to chase the dreams of being a pro, let her.  That is HER happiness, we're all sitting here assuming that there needs to be big money attached for it to make sense.  Sometimes people are perfectly okay chasing their dream and making enough to get to the next day.[/quote]

If your child was national team camp, sure.  Otherwise no.  You have to remember that a lot of elite girls soccer is UMC not even middle class.  Probably more higher than UMC than middle class. This applies to most of the elite teams around here.  No parents are not going to let someone chase their dream of pro soccer over college unless they are Kennedy Fuller level.  Even then it is unlikely.  Women’s pro soccer is not a career.  Sorry but true.  [/quote]

But it is a career. Teachers make little more or less is that not a career. You're a donkey[/quote]

[b]Teacher, yes it is -- one that they do until they retire[/b].  Not the 2.7 years the average player spends in the NWSL.  Pro femal soccer player -- no not a career.  [/quote]

+1
And teachers who retire after a full career receive a pension so $$$ until the day they day.
NWSL players, not so much[/quote]
