I’m glad to see that there is at least ONE person in the world who really understands the difference between the two. I am a college dropout, but I was an A student in High School. |

I don’t feel that I learned anything from my school’s curriculum that I couldn’t learn on my own. However and this is a big but, I gained so much value from pushing myself past the point of quitting something I wanted to do every day that I was in school. Thanks for sharing

I don’t know bout this thing but I put my son in an individual learning school which the teacher doesn’t have to discuss but it’s up to my sons capability to learn his subject. The teacher only monitor there works. I like this way since I will know where , how and what my son’s capabilities. Anyway I do believe finishing college means a 100% success on your future, It’s all about determination and perseverance.

It has definitely put me deeper in debt. That is not to say that I regret going. I think that our country puts too much emphasis on these things when it does nothing but pad the pockets of loan companies and universities. |

I do like that you brought this issue to the forefront without badgering those who chose a different path. More people, on both sides of the spectrum, should do the same.

There are simply more circumstances in life than just a piece of paper that says you did four (or more) extra years of schooling that should determine your level of success.

Comment on Generation Y: Welcome Back Home? by Alana

That’s up for debate. On one hand I felt my parents (especially Mom) made it so easy to stay. As I got older my family and I started experiencing the “Too many adults under one roof” syndrome, which finally got my wheels turning and gave me the oomph to get it together financially. I’m the only daughter, so that’s a major reason why I wasn’t pushed. A funny tidbit: Before I accepted this new position, Mom asked are you sure you want to move so far away. Far away being 90 minutes up the road. I reminded her of the move she made with my dad that took both of them 3,000 miles away from their families(Dad was military). Maybe it wasn’t a big deal in the 80s as it is now because Gen Y is moving back home so frequently. Interesting times indeed.

Thanks for the comment, Alana! Do you feel you needed to be pushed in order to move out?

Cheers to this post. I moved home post college graduation. It was 2008 and we all know the fun econmic facts associated with that year. Eventually I found a full time position, which led me to living at home for three years. I did a lot of soul searching/plotting my career path in that time frame , but as you mentioned, there’s nothing like having independence and freedom. I’ve recently cut the cord and moved out of the city and while it is scary, I’m enjoying coming home to a quiet house and doing chores and such on my own time. I’m thankful my parents opened their home back up to me, but I do wish they would’ve pushed me to go sooner. Hindsight is 20/20. Maybe the right time is now instead of all those years ago. Good luck with saving!
