Your children will be on the right academic track if they enjoy what they are studying, doing well academically, and meeting people that can mentor them in the college/career transition.
For me, everything in my career was had because of someone I knew (i.e. relationships)… starting when I was a sophomore in college. It matters relatatively little where you go to school or what your major is… it’s who you know. That’s my experience, but YMMV.
