[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her work at a retail or food service job PT and see if she changes her tune about college. Just make sure if it's a restaurant, it doesn't serve alcohol.[/quote]

Yep because that’s what parent do, dictate your every move.

The restaurant business is a career choice for many.  It’s a tough one but in high end restaurants salaries are in the six figures.

I think many of you don’t know much beyond your small worlds.  You only know STEM, law and maybe a few other careers like a government worker.

An ambitious person will find their way.  Entrepreneurship is a big one.  My sister had a medical tech job but ended up opening several small businesses.  It fit her perfectly.   Many tech jobs don’t need a college degree.  All the applicant has to do is show what they know.  Some of these kids have the type of brain to self teach themselves this stuff.

It’d be a lot easier for everyone if their kids continued their education after high school but it’s not for everyone and there are now more opportunities than ever to work for yourself or work your way up with training on the job.  [/quote]

I mean that’s patently untrue. I’m all in favor of people following their own path but the college wage premium is considerable and still growing. [/quote]
