What do you teach your kids?

[Ronin13]

The greatest evil done to our children is ... well, really there are two. The first is that we allowed a high school education to become so devalued that employers now have to demand a college degree instead, even if the job really requires no particular college level education. Its the only way to ensure that they actually have a high school education.

The second was the idea that college students are entitled to a middle class lifestyle.

This! Except I'd add a third: we've made it so everyone is convinced college (and the massive debt that comes with it) is the only way to succeed in life, but completely forget about the much needed trade industry. No joke, oil companies are offering 6 figures for welders right now.

I have two graduate degrees but still like to eat Ramen.
If I had kids, though, I'd really be pushing USNA from a young age.
