"Send your child to Rome and he will come back a Roman." That said, there are still some no-government-funded colleges that provide good and affordable education without the indoctrination.

My oldest took a gap year to finish her Japanese Language Proficiency Test certification. During that year, she decided she wanted to attend New Saint Andrews College because they focus on culture-building and prepare you to debate and defend your beliefs.

My second child (14) has already finished his high-school math, so now we’re figuring out what to do in the coming years. I’m not convinced a college STEM program is necessary unless the subject is something you can only learn in a college research lab or similar setting.

I did one year of university and then quit because I thought it was a total waste of time. I ended up working my way up the ladder at companies—since they all train you anyway. At one point I was a Senior Quantitative Analyst working with a bunch of PhDs. Nobody ever suspected that I didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree.
