I’ve always said that I would teach my children the value of a dollar and the value of an education by letting them earn money for college and then paying for it.
My oldest son worked for 2 years after highschool as a laborer in a factory and saved all his money and now he’s in college studying engineering. My second son is currently working in the same factory saving money to go to college in a year or so himself... Such good boys. :-)
For most people going to college means they have made the decision they want a traditional job working for someone else. They might as well get used to the idea of working. A college degree for someone allergic to work is a pointless waste of time and resources.
And, such a great parent!
