Reply #39: College

[Brooklyns_Finest]

Parents talk to their kids about college from the day the kid reaches kindergarten. What is the difference? So many kids are told that college is the key to life and many leave school with a boatload of debt and no job in sight.

As for me? I enjoyed the military, and would love for my kin to have the same experience. My sister doesn't particularly like it, but every time I get a chance, I tell her boys about my times in the Corps. Nobody is going to force these kids to join these schools. If a child is forced, I doubt they will last long.

Also, most of these academies do not require the student to join the armed forces once they have graduated. Seems like a good deal to me. Ever been to a public school lately? Those places can be quite scary. Trust me, I know, I am a product of the NYC school system.
