My wife wants our kids to go to college, but I really don't think they need to, or should. I think that entire system of education is antiquated and inefficient.
College is overpriced kindergarten for making your kids woke and turning them into broke, debt ridden communists when they eventually hit the graduate job apocalypse... say no.
Checkout "The Preparation" it is a newly published book, I bought it for my nephew, its " a field manual for young men (and the parents who love them) who know the old college formula is broken and want a roadmap that actually forges competence, confidence, and real‑world value."
