How to get a younger sibling to understand a college education is important?

The beauty of college is that you can start at any time. Right out of high school, when you are 30, or umm, not at all.

Some people want to learn a trade, or do something where college isn't needed. College is no guarantee of anything.

Your brother might be the millionaire with no degree and you might be the one struggling in the future. A college degree doesn't mean success. I have a degree and I'm broke as S***😂

different strokes for different folks .

I know a guy married to a successful woman who was outearning him by triple digits.

He was a real loser, get rich quick type, who went from one failed thing to another. Then he got in on the ground floor of selling this Keto OS protein Bullsh*t. Kind of a pyramid scam, but he got in on the ground floor and turned out, he was made and built for this scam

Last I heard, he had just bought a TESLA, and was taking his wife on 5 star vacations on PRIVATE jets.

Takes all kinds and there's more than one path to success.

60% of jobs do not require college degrees.

College is definitely not for everyone, and the alternative is *not* a minimum wage job.

Your brother can have a solid career in any number of occupations without a college degree. Technical schools provide many types of training for well paying jobs.

Talk to him about a trade. Perhaps, that would interest him and it would make what he may consider pretty good money too. Or, if he loves computers and electronics, tell him there are short courses and you bet he would love them and then he can spend the rest of his life doing something he really likes doing. If nothing works, then, the time isn't right. He might need 5 years of working for peanuts before he wakes up and wants an education badly enough - enough that would being the kind of income that will allow him to earn a decent living and to feel good about himself.

First of all how old is your sibling.... If he's a minor then he's not going to understand.

Not all jobs require a college education, but most do require at least a high school diploma.

College isn't for every one, but if he wants a better paying job then they should go to college for a job that is in demand.

If he's still in high school or grade school then she has time to figure out what she wants to do for a job / career.

Don't pressure him into it, it's his choice if he wants to go to college or not.

College is not for everyone. Trade school is a great option for many. A degree for the sake of a degree is a waste of money. At the same time, working a minimum wage job with no vision of what to do in the future is just as bad.

Not everyone needs to go to college. Many jobs in the trades (electrician, plumber, carpenter, etc) pay very well and don't require a degree.

Look I know you care about your family and you want what is best for your little brother but you need to back off. College honestly isn’t for everyone and that is probably why your 20 year old brother decided not to go. And you say he’s doing fine right? So whos to say that your younger brother will automatically live a bad life just because he doesn’t want to go to college? I didn’t graduate to college and I actually dropped out but I’m doing better than many others I know with a so called degree if you ask me. College might be good for you and I’m not against college but don’t judge your brother for not having interest in college just support your brother and accept him.

You can't ! College isn't for everyone.
