There are other areas where it is expected that kids will just go to college. When I was at McNeese in Lake Charles, there were tons of OPs. It was a great place. There are a lot of churches in that area where the culture is that you simply go to college. period.
But yea. There are pockets where the thinking remains get married at 18, work construction or some such and have babies. It is just weird to me.
My kids will grow up with a basic understanding that they arent done with school until they have college degrees.

Will you try to steer their interests, or are you open to them pursuing what they want as far a college/career?
