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. I know he would excel as a student at whatever university he decided on, but he would likely take out a large number of loans in order to succeed at school without having to get a job.
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.
