Alot of people go to tech schools and do very well. Colleges really do seem to be more social than academic anymore. Being a philosophy major means I may never use my degree for an actual job. But I enjoy what I study. I think that is important That is really interesting! Alot of people go to tech schools and do very well.

I just heard something yesterday. If you work a regular job and save your money faithfully, you will make more money in your lifetime than someone who has a fancy college degree. We went the Tech School route with both of our older boys. It just made more sense. They weren't into the academics and it just made more sense to get the job skills in a year or two without spending 4-6 years going through English Lit, Math 101, and History, and mostly partying, chasing girls, and drinking beer every weekend and still not ending up with a great job.
