[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 866470, member: 906"] I agree with every one of your points. I did not mean to make you feel "uncomfortable". I saw this with my own children, one of which made a perfect SAT and ACT and the other made a 35/2370. I wish they were all concerned with their future and realizing they need a career field, but most of them are not that way at the young ages. They are not always thinking clearly at these younger ages; the logic has not "clicked" in. I was a strange young person who was "worried" about my future as a very young child/teen, so I kind of was driven by that concern. A lot of these guys are not yet driven to do the things we know are best for them. Many, unfortunately, see the pro sports athletes as their idols and people they look up to. So, that is their starry dream, and ball is their outlet, their "thing". Academics may very well not be. Also, we sell so many young people a "bill of goods" about a college education. Yes, a STEM degree from a great school like GT will make a huge difference in their lives, but most colleges are just handing out paper in a lot of cases. [/QUOTE]
