Sit back and prepare yourself for an hours worth of rambling by a madman. I hope this comes out intelligible and my points are made. As per usual, I will answer or elaborate on anything I wrote, just ask. Nobody does, but not many people actually read there. Thanks in advance to the few people what actually do.

For one thing....kids need to quit viewing college as a magic ticket to the ride of life. Too many young people are made to think that they MUST attend college rather than just getting out there and working. It is possible to support your family without a college degree. Entrepreneurial ventures require lots of work and motivation....you don't get points for just showing up. I agree that there are far too many people acquiring degrees that won't get them a job. And too many people take loans out to go to school rather than working and paying for it themselves.

I agree with you, too often kids do view going to college as a free pass to a better life. And you were right that they are often have no other choice but to go to college. I remember briefly when I was in High School (Secondary School) Entrepreneurship wasn't even mention as a possible career path. Either you got a low skill job or you signed up for college.
