I am concerned that student now view college as a 4-5 year beer bust with the excitement of athletics attached. That is a poor reason for attending any college.
My son was bright and had much integrity. He joined the USCG right out of high school and is now a Senior Chief. Along the way he paid the price to get into aviation and joined up with the helicopter division. He has just returned to NC as an instructor at Elizabeth City.
His son is thinking about a good trade like welding or wildlife management. Like his father, he is a hands on person with great desires to figure anything out he sees and touches.
For me, this is the essence of a mind searching for knowledge. Those with only "book larnin'" and computer skills expect to graduate to a $60K income and fun time playing with the corporate computer through the day.
College is not what it used to be. Most people can find somewhere to be immature for 4-5 more years of growing up which is far less expensive and far more productive. I was taught that getting a graduate education was essential to success. Now getting a good practical degree in welding of tree care has a far brighter future. ANY preparation for a sweat job makes far better sense to me. Nobody wants to get dirty and sweat anymore and many in their suit don't even know how to crank or maintain their lawnmower. I am glad to be paid for my skills in tree surgery. I get healthy and seat off winter weight with a saw in my hands and smile on my face.
