Another thread got me thinking about this.
Different areas seem to push college (or not college) more than others. There are people who argue it is a waste of money and others who say you HAVE to have it to get a decent job.
I know a lot of us have kids who are or will be approaching this at some point. What are some things to consider as helping them find their path? What do you wish you would have done (or not)? What questions do you wish you had thought about? Any websites or books to help them think about what they want for their lives?
What careers actually do require college? What are good options to look at without college? Any other skill building programs to do with or instead of school?
