Of course you want your son to have the best chances in life to find his passion and pursue a career. That can be achieved at any school

— yes, even small liberal arts colleges — provided the school is the right environment for the individual. This college process is stressful enough, so don’t manufacture more stress. The path to a great job, company and career is by being in a learning environment where one can thrive, whether that’s traditional college, trade school or online.

I’ve been fired from my job, and my employer is not allowing me to accept a job with one of their competitors. They said that as long as they are paying me severance, they can prevent me from working there. I told them I would prefer to have the security of a job instead of their severance, and they essentially said “too bad.” How is this fair or legal?

In some states, it’s not legal, although in New York it is. But fairness is in the eye of the beholder. Noncompete agreements are common and typically last for a reasonable period of time after an employee leaves a job, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, to protect the employer’s legitimate business interests, such as trade secrets. Apparently, you signed an agreement when you were hired, or when you were fired, that contained this restriction. No prospective employer is going to violate that agreement.

Yes, don’t go to college.

liberal courses are useless ! hard to find a job or low paying jobs after college. he then needs to go to graduate school after which is another expense. i wish more kids will go to nursing school best career satisfaction & good pay too 💕

Why don’t you just live his life for him. He’s clearly not up to it

Choose your career path wisely and proceed from there, i.e., majors with real job potential. School choice should coincide with selected major. One promoting free thinking is always a better opt. than 'forced' opinions.

It’s your kids choice not yours!
