We have been discussing college options with our high school Sophomore as he has always wanted to go to college and play football. Recently he has been leaning more towards not wanting to go to college and I am not sure if he should.

How Do I Help My Kid Decide If College Is Right?

He is a very smart kid and has even been getting literature from universities about attending there...as a SOPHOMORE...because he gets such good grades.

He has been talking recently about just wanting to start working and get the on the job knowledge. I can't say I blame him. Part of me wants him to just be a kid as long as he is able to.. But with the number of students enrolling recently is there something that we are missing that we should encourage him to go to college?

Let me know your thoughts! Are your kids excited about college? Or wanting to enter the working world.
