Sorry, Tim ---- you're WRONG!!!
(to a degree) << pun intended >>
While many kids profit (and some lots more than others) from higher education -- the fact is thousands flounder === for any number of reasons!
"In the good old days" we called your points "APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS" ie. the old guys taught the young guys --- while both brought home a paycheck!
Today, the GUBERMINT and (highly over paid educators) university (tenured and rich) administrations have everyone convinced that you have to PAY to LEARN in my college/trade school ---- ie. THROW MORE and MORE MONEY our WAY!!!
While college tuition costs SKYROCKET ----- the education quality, graduation rates ---- and, employment commensurate with education wanes!!!!!
Give me a break ---- been around the block a few times!
