@elb5465, great article.

One thing that I have come to believe is that a traditional 4 year college education is not the best preparation for life for all young people. Although college was a great learning time for me, it might not be the best fit for all of my children.

I want to give my kids the freedom to make choices about education, since these important decisions often help or hinder career paths for the future.

As a dad, I want my kids to be less worried about please me and more focused on finding a career that they find to be meaningful.
