Bad article. Very bad.
Look, according to the BLS, a typical college grad makes twice that of a typical HS grad. College is your very, very best investment, even better than a franchise.
The problem is that many kids (and parents) view college as an act of self discovery, not as an attempt to improve your labor status. Remember, the only thing we have of value for the rest of our lives is our labor (unless you have a trust fund). Learning “the game” is part of the process. Dealing with BS professors, BS programs, BS classes, BS classmates; this helps kids respond to “the real world” (I hate that term.)
If you found the article well devised, then by all means, hold your kid out and send them to community college for two years. They can live at home with you! Then hit university at age 20 or 21, a junior that is completely unaware of how the game is played.
