Well maybe it will comfort him and ease his suffering...
And then again maybe NOT !!!
I believe in the right education. It's always been weird to me talking to parents that put money away for a kids college or something stupid like that. What is that even teaching the kid?
I went to a four year and paid my way through. I got a cheap car from my parents and my parents helped with a few expenses while I lived at home, worked, and went to college. If I had to do it again, I don't even know if I would simply because I'm not even doing a job that requires any of that at all. And, even if I did, I could probably get in without due to references.
I can say, I'm extremely grateful that my parents didn't fund me going to college and helped me work for what I have today. It teaches you a lot more that way.
Students need to be taught how to do life – make a budget, don't spend more than you make, give generously, and get a job you love. If you need education, there are LOTS of trade schools out there.
I'm grateful my parents didn't save a dime for my college and I paid for it myself. And here's why ... because I wasted it. I was angry at my parents for a few years for not saving for my college like normal parents do. But I outgrew that nonsense.
What college taught me: how to shotgun a beer faster than guys could; how to strike a match with one hand that was still in the pack (without lighting the other matches on fire); how to give plasma for money; how to use a pawn shop for money; how to starve on the weekends because there wasn't money for food after spending it on beer; how to smoke an entire pack of cigarettes in one night. The list of shame goes on and on. If my parents had paid for that .. I'd probably have killed myself over the shame.
Then, once I pulled my head out of my ass, I proceeded to have a good life that I worked hard for, making really good money as a programmer, able to stay at home once I had children to raise them myself. And I'm not saving money for their college, either, not because I can't afford to but because I don't believe college is worth it. Gender studies? fuck that.
Oh, and I paid off my student loan debt many, many years ago.
✋ programmer myself.
We'll probably do similar to what my parents did for our kid with college. One of my siblings didn't go to college and she's doing awesome at what she does with her own thing. I don't think she regrets not going.
A lot of stuff, like programming, can 100% be self taught/learned as you go and based on the job. The only thing you may need is the math if you're doing things that require it... but, I've never really needed more than the basics for what I've done.
Programmer also..went to college and paid for it myself and worked at the same time and loved every minute of it...
OHHH...had professors that believed in learning by DOING with some analytics thrown in along with theory of math...have not regrets what so ever and NO BODY but me paid for it...
Last job I had was in AI for character scraping...!!!! WOWZA!!!
Those people shitting on San Frans streets are sll Adam.
Disconnected Adams electricity... Nice touch
I liked that too.
If you go to college get a degree that gives you a skill set that someone is looking for and be willing to hire you for. For example, there will be very few jobs for a person with a degree in Trans Gender Studies, but there will be lots of jobs for people with a degree in Engineering, Business, Marketing, Computer Science, etc.
I have a college degree from paying my own tuition, no loans, and I share no disregard or spite for those who enter trades or can't embark on such a journey. As a matter of fact, I have tried to help my peers who gave up while younger to get their act together and build a career out of something they can aim for and build upon.
If my generation (25 and under) appreciated the opportunities both areas hold and held some regard for either side of the coin, imagine the unity we would have?
