    My husband never went to college, and owns a very successful plumbing company. He does very well for himself.
    Good for him! I only would suggest collage to my children if I were to see that they had a desire to go into the healthcare field. Other than that, I highly recommend against it.

    College is like the NO, all any trad needs to do is see what happens to those who go there, the brainwashing en masse and the damage that has been done to everything, especially everything  holy. Hopefully they will see this but if not, the parents certainly should - and seeing should do what they can to be as dissuasive as they can. Better to try to get them to look into something else that doesn't require any college at all.

    Also, there are tons of online schools. The internet is making brick-and-mortar colleges obsolete.

    Yes, that is the answer to the problem, and the problem is sending your children away to a school in another town where they will be living by themselves, even if it is sending them away to elementary or high school to St. Mary's Kansas.

    There are many fields that require higher learning to get a license, like medicine, science, engineering, architecture, school teacher...…., and one can today go to practically any university online. But, if your children have to go to a brick and mortar school because they need a degree in these fields, they can go to a local state university and live at home.

    I agree, and I love that he’s against it for our kids too. Lol which is weird because he’s fine sending them to school now, but ... God is turning His head towards homeschooling for sure lately!

    Yes, I think the problem is not the university exactly, though that is dangerous, but living outside of the family home among unbelievers when one is too young and impressionable and not ready for living on one's own amidst strong temptations with out their father and mother there to protect them. I do not think most young adults are ready to live on their own (or especially with non-Catholic roommates) at the age of 18 today, especially the girls. I don't know about everyone but in my own university experience the dorms were dens of vipers.

    Although online courses or living at home while attending a local state university would be better, I don't think it would fix the problem completely because there is still liberal bias in the course content (depending upon the course).
    But yes, the above measures would limit the potential for damage.

    Unless it's some sort of social science or political course, I doubt it. And the main danger with college isn't really the curricular brainwashing, even most worldy people think college professors are biased and full of [censored] these days. The real danger is embracing the degenerate lifestyle that 99% of the other students will be living and being surrounded by unavoidable occasions of sin 24/7.

    If you're only focusing on the blatant sinful lifestyle, yes.  However, there are insidious effects as well.

    • I've noticed most college professors & instructors have a "divinity" complex. They're very self-serving, too. Potential students, beware.

    • Even if you send your children to State University, they will be in danger and you will be responsible.

    A naive young trad catholic will have atheistic or neopagan teachers and friends. Even if they go from home to University and from University to home, day by day.

    I wouldn't send a daughter to college or State University. I will encourage her to learn a trade at home. If she marries, its OK, I will pray she would be at home. If she has a religious vocation, and learned a trade like cooking or sewing, that will be useful at her community. If she is a single woman, she could earn her own money (the last choice).

    If I have a son, I would encourage him to learn some trade related to computers so he can learn at home, maybe going to State University but only if he is mature enough.

    Definitely. There's no difference between a state college and a university in terms of constant exposure to occasions of sin and degeneracy being fed to students there.
