College matters because your major is extremely important. In many cases, your grades are also very important. You are in make or break your career mode in college.
No idea why parents care so much in grade school, but so little in college. If I become a parent I will pay minimal attention and money to my kid in grade school and spend it all during college. THATS when it matters. Thats when your career is made. I saw plenty of "high achieving" foids in H.S get all As, but do chit majors in college and get chit jobs.

Don’t have any yet, but it Depends on what they want to major in. I’d rather them become entrepreneurs.
If I have a son who doesn’t have an entrepreneurial spirit I’m going to encourage being a commercial airline pilot, doctor, surgeon, or something like that. Something sexy. High paid. Good benefits. Lots of prestige. Etc.
I feel like most kids don’t get enough guidance from their parents and most counselors/ advisors are basically losers telling people to follow their dreams or some nonsense like that.
What happened to discipline, the drive to succeed/climb to the top? The chase of prestige, wealth, etc.?
If men don’t admire you and women don’t desire you, you are basically invisible in todays society.

I think that if you don't have a college degree, you pretty much don't even have a say in the matter.
But will I be paying for my kids college? Yes. Ill make him/her go to a CC for the first two years though.

On one hand I feel it's kind of shytty to bring kids in the world and not being willing to help set them up for sucess (in theory anyway, obviously simply going to college doesn't guarantee that), but on the other hand...I had to figure it out my own, so I wouldn't feel any obligation. In fact, I think it's pretty ridiculous how many parents seem to think it's their obligation to fully fund their kids going to college.
I don't want kids, so I don't have to worry about it (hopefully).

We were fully prepared to pay for our daughters college but she qualified for a few scholarships so we only had to pay a couple of thousand dollars for miscellaneous items over the four years she was attending.
Our son didn’t even try for scholarships, even though he was clearly qualified for several, very mad about that…very mad…So we will definitely be paying for his but he just wants to dick around for a few years at a local community college.

If you choose to have kids, and it is planned - you would be idiotic not to have something put away, or not to have some sort of plan about how you are going to give your kids a leg up.
We're entering an era where everybody is going to be poor, and it is going to be very rough to get ahead. If you think the epidemic of people living with their parents into their 20s and 30s is bad now, just wait. It'll be no different than how people who grew up in the 60s are out of touch with what students in the 2000s have had to go through, because they could work in the summer and pay their entire tuition, and they don't understand that isn't applicable anymore.
If you simply cannot do it, that's one thing. But it would be idiotic not to give your kid all the advantages in the world. People are going to wax poetic about how their parents kicked them out at 12, and working as a minor in paper mill is how they built the raw skill and determination to become a junior data entry clerk by the age of 24, unlike those lazy ****s in school whose parents supported them. The reality is, a person is more likely to reach their potential if they have parents who support them.
With that said, AI is going to replace most jobs, so it might be irrelevant for 90 percent of people. We're going to enter a weird era where most people don't have a place. So maybe your best bet is to do your best to connect with your kid and raise a mentally healthy and functional person, because the world is going to get really weird and messed up over the next few decades.

Absolutely 100 percent. It’s an expectation to go to college. I’ll make sure they major in something practical/useful however. But even then, college education is now baseline to have any decent job.

Initially no. After they finish the degree and are paying it back for a few years I will pop up out of nowhere and pay it all off. They should feel the responsibility and dread that comes with compounding interest debt.
If they drop out or major in something stupid then they can do it on their own.

Plan on putting all my kids through college if that is what they want to do. Have a college fund setup for the first one. Second is due in November and he will get the same.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.
