[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3883288, member: 35603"] Yeah, neither of my cousins in their early 20s came out any less logical or conservative. If anything, they became a little more steadfast in calling BS when they see it. I personally believe that if I were to have to go through it all again now, I wouldn't go to college for anything other than a STEM based degree. We have also started working on getting our son to think about it from an investment perspective. What is the potential rate of return on a degree/certification/whatever versus the cost to acquire it? Paying college tuition for several years to "find oneself" isn't really wise use of one's funds. I also think the military has a lot to offer when it comes to growing up, experiencing some life, and learning self discipline. I think I would've benefitted GREATLY with at least 4 years of that after high school and it would've made me appreciate college a lot more. [/QUOTE]
