I don't know but would having a 'hard' symbolic link work from /home to the
www folder work in this case?

I could but I'm not sure that is secure. That is why I was seeing if
anyone has a a similar setup.

I think You work on apache!!
is so you can make this hard link
but i have an idea,
secure is gurantee on linux system
you can make the permission of '/var/www/' ot their username then you can
easily make soft link between "/home/<username>" and "/var/www/"

This is what you want.

Ok. Im going to need a bit of help here.
First, even though this seems simple enough, there is way too much room
for error on what to do.

I ran /etc/init.d/apache2 stop.
I opened /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
I did not find the <IfModule mod_userdir.c> but a little with a
searching I found userdir.conf and userdir.load.

So, Im not sure what Im supposed to do. Am I supposed to add the code to
apache2.conf or am I supposed to find a #userdir.load and unmark it -
which Im running a scan for something like that now. Im just a bit
uncertain what to do.

While exploring a bit I apache2/sites-available/default
and in default it has DocumentRoot /var/www

Could I not just change that to /home/wadesmart/public_html ?

You could do that if you wish. I was under the assumption that you wanted a
separate directory for each user.

Im not sure what you would think that since that is not what I said.

I read one thing and thought another. I guess that's one of the
reasons I shouldn't do two things at once.

I think you may just need to unmark the code, but I'm not certain. Try that
and go the other route if it doesn't work.
