May I suggest he learn a trade instead of going to college. My grand daughter thought conservative until after four years of indoctrination at college. Now she is an educated left wing liberal.

Ans so is my son after years at Indiana University, and University of Colorado.

All it is anymore is indoctrination.

Smart kid was conservative until college.

Why not, at least in public colleges and universities, put an end to “cultural studies, black studies, womyn’s studies ad nauseum.” And how many psychologists and sociologists does society need at public expense?

Instead, emphasize our American history and heritage, constitutional government, free market economics (and the error of socialism and communism), scientific truth, and USEFUL professions that require and undergraduate/professional education like engineering, scientific research, business and accounting, medicine, and to a lesser extent, law and theology?

It sounds as if some of the students discussed in the article would be happier learning a trade at less cost in time and money to them, their parents, and the public. College should be reserved for those wishing, to some degree, to pursue scholarship.

I don't know if this is any help, but my older son was moving in that direction. I asked him if he ever wondered why I'm a conservative. He asked and I told him it's really simple everything comes down to one word, FREEDOM. I want it and am willing to live with the consequences of my decisions in order to have it. Liberalism accomplishes it's goals by taking freedom in order to equalize outcomes.

I think he's getting back on track.

I agree completely... Something that takes skill, education, and can't be sent overseas...

A career as an electrician, plumber, or HVAC. Or becoming a skilled carpenter, though depending on your area, the market may be flooded with illegal aliens, mostly unskilled. But it will still dilute the market.

All of these are terrific careers, and you can make a great living at them, though it can be hard, dirty work.
