[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are over 1,000 four year colleges in the US. The question isn’t why a kid goes to 101-1,499. The question is why do you think the normal thing to do needs explaining, or apologies, or reasons? Why are you so afraid of falling out of the elite that you pathologize the normal, typical thing for a young person to do?

It's only been the "normal thing to do" for average to below average academically strong people to go to college in the last 20 years or so. Before that, people went into trades, opened business, or worked for companies.

I have the same question as OP but mine is more in the context of does it make more financial sense for people in a 101-1500 school to just start working any job after high school or go to trade school and get technical training to start moving up immediately. Start saving sooner. Not have to pay insane tuition.

Why do the 4 year education if it won't do anything for them? And possibly make their lives more difficult?[/quote]
