[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3571952, member: 6668"] I'm of the same mind on a lot of this. My oldest is capable of whatever he'd want to do in school, but seems to dislike it, at least so far. I didn't love school either, but for whatever reason, I was pretty much locked into getting a degree. Like it was some kind of Holy Grail. But it's not. It's a door opener for some jobs that almost arbitrarily require a degree of some sort, but otherwise, the value proposition is tough for me to see. If I had do overs, I'd opt for engineering of some sort. Unfortunately I think there's a perception that people go the trade route because of a lack of capability or by necessity. I think it can be a pretty smart move for some. [/QUOTE]
