Prepare your child BEFORE college, letting them all their lives who and what to expect when they get there.

Both of my kids waited a few years before going back to school. They worked in the real world, can smell leftist bullsh*t a mile away and have ZERO tolerance for it.

Both of them perfected the “Nod and Grin” technique for getting through the PC crap courses they needed to graduate. So in the end, they got what they needed and gave the leftists a giant middle finger.

IOW, get YOUR links and values in place in your kids, make them unbreakable BEFORE they walk through those doors, make them thoroughly AMERICAN ahead of time, and prepare them.

And in this day and age, Trade/Technical schools are probably a better bet. Actual, REAL work - electrical, plumbing, carpentry, auto/truck repair, masonry and stone work - are a better bet. They will ALWAYS have good paying jobs, usable skillsets, and will avoid the communist bullsh*t from the colleges.

I had two trade schools under my belt before I went back to night school (company paid), and I’ve never been unemployed.

Understood. As a professor at a top engineering college expressed it, were turning out graduates who can do operational calculus and design artificial intelligence algorithms in their sleep - but who can’t figure out which end of a soldering iron to hold when they’re awake”.

I have to agree with the part about technical/trade schools probably being the best bet for higher education. However, based on personal experience, I will differ in one area ...that of training for auto/truck repair. The trade can be good paying if one is in the right situation, but don’t count on it. After about 50 yrs. in that field, I pretty much failed to see much of the good pay, but saw a lot of the not-so-good pay. There are so many ways this job can be worked around to the disadvantage of the employee, partly because of the different pay systems. I almost always worked on commission & this can be very good in the right situation, but also very bad in the wrong situation. Generally speaking the auto repairman will need to be very good at what he does to make much of a living. He/she will need some natural ability as well as the formal training and there should be lots of ongoing update training as well. Without that,you will miss out on a lot of opportunity. Just wouldn’t want a young person to go into this field thinking they are almost instantly going to get rich.
