We have 3 kids in their teens with college plans as well.  

Someone mentioned about not going to college or going traditional ways.

A LOT of college towns have this rule for obvious reasons.

Most people get stuck right here - caught between learning everything and actually doing something.I started out in college, and felt the same way.
