I told my kids when they were young not to waste their money on college unless they planned on getting into a technical field. My daughter, with just a GED, is holding the same position as someone with a BS in Business Administration. Why? She has people skills in a field where that is essential. I did co-sign a student loan for my youngest- so he could go to a tech school to enhance his mechanical skills. My oldest son is in the military doing what I did-serving his country & getting his Uncle to pay for school. When 2 of his friends told me they were going to major in English I taught them a phrase that would make them successful in that career major “Would you like fries with that?”. Neither one caught the gist of what I was saying.
