Third child is 18: freshman in Electrical Engineering. Tough work but it seems to suit him. All he has to do is graduate w/ a 3.0 or better.
All three will support themselves, they will graduate college debt free, none have credit cards, and most importantly, they can all drive a stick. My work here is through.
Millennials will do just fine - just stay out of debt and work hard!

Some will, many others will not (because they seem unable to stay out of debt or work hard). For every one like you describe, there are probably 5 or 6 who are unemployed/underemployed and have accomplished little or nothing. Exceptions are just that, exceptions. BTW, sound like you/they did a great job.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
