How do you feel about school? Do you want your children to go to college (whether or not you have children now) or would you be okay with them skipping college altogether?
I'm really glad I have a ways to go before I have to deal with anything like this but I would really perfer to have my child go to college so he can get a better job.

I think if I had children, I would want them to go to college but I would never force them. There's no point (especially when a child is an adult) to tell them what to do. I would give them advice and let them know how beneficial college will be for their future. I never went so I would feel like a hypocrite to tell them they had to.

 I think college is always a good idea because it builds character and is a very positive aspect in life. I think education should extend past just what is required.

 I really want my children to look at college as a great learning experience. I want them to have goals that they work very hard to accomplish. I have a long ways until my little girl is ready for college but I've already talked to her about it here and there... as much as she could understand anyway. She knows college is a good choice and I can see her going far already.
