Anita Bruzesse brings up the question of whether or not college is the best route for kids these days. Today, earning a college degree doesn't necessarily guarantee a job anymore. Plus, it puts many families in debt, as much as $80,000. It may not be worth it to spend that much. There's also the point that many kids aren't even sure about what it is they want to do, so spending thousands of dollars to figure it out, when it isn't the only way to figure it out, may not be the best decision. Of course college isn't a bad choice for everyone, it's usually a good choice, but it wouldn't be completely out of the question to consider other options if it makes sense for the individual. This could be an interesting area of research, because there are more and more unemployed people now, regardless of whether they have college degrees or not.
