    I really enjoyed reading this article! I think society and some parents put pressure on kids to become successful and go to college. Not everyone is cut out for college or have the money to go. They are other avenues for kids to get an education besides College. My husband and I do not have college degrees and we do allright. I think getting an education is great but a college degree does not guarantee a job nowadays. I think if someone is willing to work hard and has the drive to learn a trade and is honest and has integrity that is more impressive to an employer than someone with a college degree that is lazy and not willing to work at all. I would like my son to go to College but i am not going to pressure him like I see other parents doing. We need to encourage our children to do something with their lives they enjoy doing instead of constant pressure to succeed. Everything in life should be balance, family, happiness, beliefs, work, love, etc.

    This is such an important article! Jodi, thank you for sharing this with all of us! You did a wonderful job writing it, and I know many of us can relate (^). Hopefully we can all learn that although work and succeeding is important, our happiness is important too. Well done!
