[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway as a parent reading this book was that there are so many other options [b]besides 4-year college that can lead to really prestigious and satisfying careers.[/b] Starting in elementary school, the drum beat for college starts. I wish my kids had access and information about more of these paths so they could make an educated plan for what's best for their goals. [/quote] like what? And do those "satisfying careers" pay well enough to live a comfortable life in a hcol area like the DMV? I'm not against trade school. I actually told DD to maybe look into some tech trade schools, and she said no. She is not academically minded, though she has above average stats, but she still wants to go to college and get a degree.[/quote] People can live very happily outside HCOL areas like the DMV![/quote]
