I have told both of my kids that I don't care about school, just get through it, go through the motions and be done with it, keep them off your back and just nod your head. If you want to drop out and get a job go for it but neither did that. I told them do what you want with your life but don't take out debt, don't enslave yourself.

The best thing you can do is pay cash for a house or pay it off as soon as you can so that you can make the choices you want in life. If you own a place to live you do not have to take chit from anyone, you do not have to keep a job you hate or stay in a bad situation, you always can tell them to shove it if you are not dependent.
