Reply #8: Not all would GO to college..Just knowing that it was an option [View All]

is the key.. Some kids will always find other things to do and ways to express themselves without college. The "college' could even be redefined. Kids who are artistic may not want to 'waste' their time in college..maybe for them, an opportunity for an art internship or further training would be an option.

It's just sad that a country that claims to have ALL option, in reality has very few for most people.. "paper or Plastic"?

and college need not be a "static" time frame.. The four years (probably more like 6 these days) could be "used" in segments or all together.

It always cracks me up when *² spouts his "retraining at community college" spiel.. If you are 45 years old and have just lost your union or good-paying career job, you have NO TIME to waste in finding another (or a few) jobs..A family to support will always trump, a casual "retraining" at community college.. The community colleges around here are still laying off teachers, and eliminating classes anyway.
