My daughter took a part time office job at a bank. She is now a VP and makes 6 figures.
She finished college while working and jumped at every opportunity for further education.

Taking a job is a lucrative but risky decision for any 18-year-old to make, one that could foreclose on his future if the frenzied pace of oil and gas drilling from here to North Dakota to Texas falters and work dries up.A good-paying job right out of high school, with no college debts, or no pay and large debts with no promise of work, certainly not work that pays well enough to pay off your debts. Hmmmm....

Sounds good to me - making money, being responsible for themselves, avoiding Leftie professor indoctrination during the ‘young skulls full of mush’ stage in life - they can always get a college degree at a later date, if they wish to do so.

The real CONCERN of Liberals is that Home Schooling, Private Schools, and not attending Liberal Colleges will ruin the plan to indoctrinate youth in the Communist Manifesto Tradition, which is EXACTLY what has led us to this destroyed economy and has destroyed America that we live in today.
Wealth Redistribution dictated by the Elites is the Plan.....how DARE YOU be responsible, self-sufficient, independent-thinking, and NOT rely on the Gubmint and the wealth of others?

A high school graduate would be much better off going to a technical school for a year and learning a trade. Then they could earn their own way through college. Or they could continue with their trade, which would earn them a lot more money than a liberal arts degree.

An accountting major graduate from college, gets a job and asks, “How do we make it cheaper?”
An engineering major graduates from college, gets a job and asks,”How do we make it better?”
A liberal arts major graduates from college, gets a job and asks...”Do you want fries with that?”

My favorite is still the picket-line-walking Chicago teacher who proudly told a reporter, "I teaches English."
She obviously got into college on merit alone.

Here's a thought; they could work and save the money they need for a college education and pay cash when the time comes.
The problem with that, of course, is that they won't be indentured slaves of the feral government when they graduate.
Can't have that.

Even if the kid hates the job, it’s a lesson in itself- he’ll be more motivated to study hard in college so he won’t have to work such a nasty, dirty job when he gets older...mowing lawns and bagging groceries as a teenager helped motivate me towards getting my degree.

The NYT doesn’t want kids to be free to avoid commie wing brainwashing known as college.

I started college in 1966 and promptly flunked out. I went to work on the drilling rigs in South Louisiana offshore and on inland barges. It was hot dirty dangerous work. It paid well. The oilfield
adjusted my attitude about university. When I went back to university I did very well. I have a BS in Geology and Pharmacy.
Very few kids are mature enough to go to university at 18 years old. The oil field is a good place for them when they get out of high school. When they are ready they will go to college and some will learn that they do not want or need college.

I’m sure the NYT IS worried.
The “Big Education” cycle is a funding mechanism for progressives.
Huge borrowed govt created money is routed to institutions who pay excessive salaries to profs and admins who donate it to Democrats.

The college industry will take care of this quickly, they'll develop a degree in roughnecking. They'll promise the kids a lucrative job if only they will spend four years of their lives and obligate themselves to around $100k in student loans studying for this exceptional opportunity.

It would make more sense to have high school end at 10th grade. Those students who pass a test of basic literacy and math could go on to “junior college”, consisting of what is now grades 11,12 and the first year of college. Those who demonstrate an ability to do college work could go on from there.
