To me this is the key. We have to stop looking at things like this, at people in general across a wide range of policy issues, but also here, as one-size-fits-all. It doesn't. A lot of people absolutely should go to college. A lot of others shouldn't. We need to get way better at wisely discerning between the two. Not just for the sake of the people going or not going, but for society as a whole. We need more people qualified and trained in jobs for which college degrees are useless - the whole blue-collar, Mike Rowe thing.
