The problem with High School kids is that they are just stupid. They have no concept of what the real world is like and make choices based on their limited High School experiences
A kid loves art or music so they become Art Majors or Music Majors. It will not make you an artist or a musician. Our greatest artists and our greatest musicians did not go to college for it. Best a college degree will do is allow you to teach art or music to others
Parents need to stop accommodating kids on their college choices. Kids get to pick any college they want or any major they want and parents just write the checks no questions asked
How many kids choose a college based on where their friends are going or because they have a winning football team or because they want to go to Florida or California? How many choose majors that do nothing to make them employable?
Parents need to learn to say no
Until when? When do these kids start taking responsibility for their own choices then? Oh I forgot, you're a liberal. The answer for your type is "never."
Save your "I hate liberals" bullshit
If an 18 year old is earning all he money for his education, let him make as many mistakes as he wants. If he is using daddy's money, parents need to be firm on how "their" money is being spent
My money says if the kid was spending his own money, he would make better decisions
