Our kids know that (in our family) a college degree = a job or a viable/debt-free grad school plan. My DS has no desire for a performer’s lifestyle, but his gifts/talents should transfer to a career that support him and (possibly/hopefully) a family.
Sales, marketing, advertising, teaching…. He has people-skills. Possibly a “blue collar” career that allows him to use his creativity.
It is amazing how different two children from the same parents can be!!
