College funds

529's for my kids. If they dont use them I get the $ back.

My thinking is that if they want a license (DR,NURSE,VET,etc) or they want to be an engineer then college is worth it. Other than that I will encourage going into the work force.

I'd rather buy a duplex, put them in one side and tell them to rent the other. Then have have an asset, an income stream, and a lesson on how to make $.

same here i agree with you,
I worked summers in various trades as a kid and into highschool, had part time job in hs as soon as i could drive myself. I went to college because i was told i needed to go, so i did and wasted it, wound up working my way to a job in the field i "went to school" for. The high school i went to you were basically taught to think less of people that were not going to college.

I hope the college bubble pops soon, the whole time i was at school perfectly good buildings were being torn down and new ones built. In my opinion college tuition is way out of hand, partly because the machine is being fed unnecessarily .
