[quote=sdrealtor]The world definitely shifted about 30 years ago to placing much greater value on a college degree at a minimum and advanced degrees are often the entry card to success. Yes there are and always will be those without out higher education who succeed against the odds. But those cases get fewer and fewer. Even those with college degrees must commit to lifelong education. If you dont, you are not in the game and have to deal with what comes your way.

Agreed but with some reservation. Kids can not expect any better life with a college degree if “college” is something like University of Pheonix and /or “degree” is in sociology, psychology etc. If that is what one wants to do, it is better to not take up all those student loans.
