Yes! We are hearing this! My daughter did a few courses at college and
hated jumping through the hoops. She has decided to start her own business.
This is a girl who when interested in a subject will bring home 15 books
from the library, read endlessly, take notes, etc. Right now she is taking
a lot of flack from her friends (all at college). Finally she got them off
her back by telling them she wouldn't have to wait 4 years to start living
her dream AND she wouldn't owe thousands of dollars either! Deb K.


Subject: Hope I am not too far behind on this...

...Also, I am wondering if you all are hearing as much as we are about
"success". My teens keep hearing that unless they get a degree they will
not "succeed" and will amount to nothing since they won't get a high
paying job... sharon
