Reply To: College – Appropriate or not?

I’m with Wolf. Why do people think its either or? The only thing I would add is, college, while very important in today’s job market, is not the only way to being a self-sustainer. If someone has a good work ethic, they can be just as successful (perhaps more so). The point I have my boys focus on is, aim for something you enjoy, AND pays well. There is nothing as dead-end as a job you hate (be that learning, computing, chinuch, whatever). I have friends that are in chinuch and LOVE what they do, and it shows. Success is hard to measure, and is more than just dollars and cents.
