Choosing the path to post secondary education is never overrated. It provides young adults time to grow and mature through the most vital period of life between teen years and adulthood. It's the time to discover themselves and their career possibilities. It allows them time to make a few mistakes while self correcting along the way. It's where they encounter accountability, without parental oversight.
It does not push them in adulthood prematurely without the tools to navigate financial decisions, career options, or military/trade alternatives. It is emphatically all encompassing.
Choosing the path to college is not about what you're going to do to make a living, it's understanding that is just one of the residual lifetime benefits.
