My parents didn't have money to send me to college years back. I didn't regret then but now I wished I had gone to college. I had a 3.8 something GPA and my SAT score was just under 1200.
They were good enough to get me to most UC universities but I looked at the fact that my dad and sister were both working at restaurants to support our family. I wanted to make contribution so I opted for a two year AS degree.
Now, I'm back in school (online) pursuing my 4 year BS degree. It'll take me another year or so before I complete all my courses. If my kids are intelligent enough, I want to send them to university for sure. I will certainly encourage them to take up odd jobs as soon as they are old/mature enough. I don't believe in free lunch myself. Unless they show no desire in going to college then acquiring a skill will be their only option.
