When you say "local degree"; what do you mean by that?Also, in regards to "each person needs to make there own choice, do their own thing, learn/live there own life." That is very true. I had asked my parents once if they had hoped that my brother would have taken over my Dad's business someday. The respone I got was that they would have liked that but they wouldn't and didn't pressure him to because they knew he had a different career route. The thing I dislike to hear is someone telling me they're studying so-and-so major but hate it so I'll ask why they are even taking that major and they'll say how their parents want them to. For example.. My brothers wife went to the same University as her Father and studied History to become a Teacher just as her Mother did BUT she is always whining about how she hates the students and teaching lol.Remember though, awhile back (not sure how many years but probably before I was born haha) you could graduate from H.S. and get a job that paid decently. Today, that isn't the case because most employers want a B.S. or even a M.S degree. I've had a few people tell me I need at least a B.S. degree and one of the reasons they tell me is because on average, a B.S. holder earns more annually than a H.S. grad but as I tell them...The higher the education, the higher the debt you'll have, so the more money you'll need to earn. But that doesn't work out well in todays economy because A B.S. doesn't always mean earning more than someone with just a H.S. diploma.</blockquote>
