 I did not get a chance to watch the video but we that is my husband and I have already made the decision that unless our children need college for example to become a doctor or something of the sort we will not endorse it because it pushes liberal theology a definite causes a loss of faith. We highly advocate for our boys to learn trades or start their own business and hope to give them an inheritance of land so they will not have to fend for themselves and give in to the modern city life just to make a living. And as for our girls they too can learn a skill that they can make money with until they get married or enter the convent whichever God chooses for them...sounds a bit old school  but we believe this is the way God intended it to be.

Basically agree, but what if a daughter neither marries nor becomes a nun?  Will she be able to support herself?  It’s just something to keep in mind if Our Lord tarries and she outlives you.  I bring it up because a single woman without an education who is alone in the world has a very difficult time of it.  The temptation, even pressure to have to compromise or make a bad marriage is intense.

Yes, this is certainly a valid concern for sure, yet sending one's child away to college these days is most definitely not the answer and might well be at least a venial sin, perhaps mortal if you already know just how terribly bad college is these days yet help fund or approve of your child going away to college anyway. Submersing your child into a world where every kind of immorality is glorified and designed to be sought after 24/7 must be avoided no matter what. I think we can all pretty much agree on this.

I think the video had sound advise. 

For those that a college degree is a necessity for the field they want to enter, find another field and do something else or attend a trade school for your degree - it's not the end of the world and if there even are regrets later in life, so what. Better to live with insignificant regrets than to send your child into live within the halls of hell. No?

Good luck finding any job outside of garbage man, religious vocation, mailman, and construction worker without a college degree. If you plan on raising a big Catholic family you have to have the funds via a good job. 

To the people saying that college will turn them liberal: do you not see the world we live in? Just teach them to ignore it like they do the other bs that we have to live with in the modern world.
