After Decades of Growth, Colleges Find It’s Survival of the Fittest
I&#x27;ve been in serious debate with myself over whether to encourage my son to go to college when it is time. I guess it depends on what field I see him become interested in. I could provide enough resources for him to learn enough to get an entry level job, if he chooses tech. But I guess I still have that romantic notion of him getting a well-rounded education in many subjects that I couldn&#x27;t help him with, making friends, and meeting interesting professors. At least I could help him find a good college. I was the first person in my family to even graduate high-school, so I was flying blind.<p>Besides the notion that so many jobs expected it when I was starting out, I&#x27;m not really sure what good it did for me. Put it this way, I couldn&#x27;t even tell you where my diploma is. But once a month I still go online and pay for it.
