That's not a bad idea but I'd tell kids to just go get a job and go to college if they find a career that requires a degree or one where a degree would increase their earnings. In fact I do tell kids that because I hang out with a bunch of lowlifes who are trying to turn shit around. It is ridiculous that we tell a bunch of naive people who just got pubes to pick a career and spend like $100k or whatever. When I was 17 I didn't even know what jobs there were, let alone what I'd enjoy enough to do full time. I'm kinda in between generations though so this may not be the case anymore. I think a lot more kids now know that they need to research their careers instead of assuming any degree is valuable like my parents told me.
