Below are two excerpts. A college degree can provide your child with many opportunities in life. A college education will increase your child's ability to understand developments in science and in society, to think abstractly and critically, to express thoughts clearly in speech and in writing, and to make wise decisions. These skills are useful both on and off the job. The world is changing rapidly.
Many jobs rely on new technology and already require more brain power than muscle power.
In your child's working life, more and more jobs will require education beyond high school. With a college education, your child will have more jobs from which to choose. A person who attends college generally earns more than a person who does not. Someone with a two-year associate's degree also tends to earn more than a high school graduate. Some of these benefits of college may not be obvious to your child.
