A few years ago, I had to consider whether I should create college funds for my kids. Based on everything you describe, I fought it for a while.. and then changed my mindset.
They don't have "college funds," they have "education funds" because they will always need education, regardless of how it's delivered.
I'm looking forward to a time when that can be used for Coursera, Lynda (LinkedIn Learning), and any other continuing education program. That will be a powerful shift.
- cvlasdkv 7y agoA lot of "education" is just branding and prestige. For that, they will need a lot of money. And before techies get up in arms about how much of a meritocracy their field is -- survey your FAANG/elite startup coworkers. See what school they went to.
