[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from a HS that sent 40% of its students on to higher ed in 2000. As an earlier graduate the number was probably closer to 25 to 30% so I know many folks who didn't go to or complete college. Most of them are fine.

Maybe not DCUM fine but owning their homes, driving mid level cars, taking an annual vacation, hanging with family and friends. What I consider a middle class lifestyle. Addiction and mental illness are no more rampant than in my college or law school graduating classes. I think most like their lives and as most haven't moved far, enjoy having family around.

They work in all industries and some trades but no one is C suite or anything unless it's their own business. They send their kids to state schools and local private schools that aren't worth the money. It's either those or mentioning Harvard. The in between doesn't exist.

They tend to be politically conservative but as a default because if you scratch the surface they don't really know. But also don't really care. [/quote]
