[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724477, member: 1550"] Lol, I agree with you about college, which is University here. Except for status in certain social groups of people (in the U.S. there is probably less of this) getting a good job/succeeding is not just dependent upon a degree. If the major isn't one that is needed you can owe 100,000 or more and not get a great job. I know one young woman, very smart, who never did get a job in her chosen field and has a huge debt to the government. And Gone boy refused college, has his own company, and is very successful financially. Bart the same...six figure job with no college degree, no debt. My girls went for two year degrees. Princess made good money before she had my grand and Jumper stands to do well too. I never understood the push for college unless the child really wanted to go, was a good student and had his head on straight enough to go away from home and not party all the time. [/QUOTE]
