“Our children go to community college, as well. So far, two have joined the military, one graduated from the local state university, one is currently attending the same - both lived at home - one has a full-time job and can get more education when it’s important to her.”
Back when I was a young ‘un, I decided college wasn’t for me. After working a dead end job or two, I learned my lesson. Attended my local CC for a couple of years and easily transferred to a nearby state college that I wouldn’t have qualified for due to my high school grades. Best choice I ever made.
I wish you and your family love and success in the future. You’ve done a good job raising them. Cheers!
Thank you, and best wishes to you as well!
My oldest son was a C-ish student at CC until he took a job at Burlington Coat Factory, the low end of low-end retail. Seeing what life was like for people without education turned him into an A student.
He’s the one who has graduated from the university, and he has an excellent job - related to his degree! - his own car, and a cat.
