[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, in all seriousness, it seems like maybe you could stand to hear this: The best parts of you are not your accomplishments. You are not your job title, or the name of the school on the sticker of your car. There’s something about you that’s far bigger, more meaningful and beautiful, than any of those things. I suspect you’ll roll your eyes at this post, but I hope someday you let the truth of it in. Not only will you be more at peace when you do, the world will also come more alive for you.[/quote]

Not OP but I love this and so feel it. Thank you![/quote]

This is nice but can we ever discuss in a real, honest way of whether or not we should be sending a certain number of kids to a certain level of university that costs a certain amount of $? Or will it just continue to be "you're mean" to suggest that college isn't for everyone....and that those people are probably not the most academically gifted people?[/quote]

There is so much more to the college experience than just academics.[/quote]

+1 and having the degree, from anywhere, gives you more options than not having it.

FWIW, I have a lot of electricians in my family. Most of them also went to college. It was encouraged by their electrician fathers. And my grandfather was a Midwestern farmer but also went to college back in the 1920's, returning to the farm with more knowledge to improve his business.

Absolutely students should not run up a lot of debt for college (regardless of how good a HS student they are). So a lower ranked school that gives a lot of merit or is a regional public school might be the better choice.[/quote]
