In the article, Economics 101: College vs. Apprenticeship, consider the financial value of a college degree in today's world, when compared to spending the "college-age" years working as an apprenctice building one's own business. This is particularly important for homeschoolers as they consider their highschool plans. Many are convinced their kids must attend college and spend a lot of time preparing transcripts and effectively letting the college admissions officer establish their high school curriculum. For some, this may be the path God intends but we need to carefully assess what we are doing and why, particularly as we seek to finish strong in the home stretch of our children's home education. Certainly, a rarely challenged cultural assumption in modern America is that "you must go to college" or be forever lost as a second class citizen trapped in life long poverty. We take a calculator to these scenarios. References and links are provided for costs and other assumptions on the blog Every Good Path.
