Love it! For generations, as a society, we've pushed college or you'll be nothing. That is absolutely not true. But these kids absolutely need something in high school. Teach the basics of a trade or something. 20+ years ago we had wood shop and mechanics. That's at least something. I see parents, like myself, teaching my kids ROI. Go do you and learn what you're passionate about. Quite frankly, industry moves so fast that by the time todays high school seniors graduate college they are going to get a job outside their major. Today, 80% of people work outside their major.

These kids don't need to go to college and get into an insane amount of debt just to get a low paying job. I have 4 kids. I only have 1 that really wants to go to college because of what he wants to do for a career.
