I'm teaching my kids how to build a business, and how to learn chemistry and deep science through self learning programs, like Aleks, and the like. Same curriculum as I got in college.

But none of the loans and none of the "go work for IBM" mentality that taught me how to be a loser for way too long.

A few years head start on actual business building is way more valuable than a 250 kid lecture hall with a teacher who never built anything in their life.

The future belongs to entrepreneurs, and that's even more true now with LLM built businesses.

Get them a face to face sales job for a bit. It does a lot for one's character to learn how to break the ice and be personable. And it teaches work ethic.
