[quote=Anonymous]In the past it was much easier to become accomplished without a college degree then it is now.

I am not sure how many people there are in the last 5-10 years who have not going to higher-ed or dropped out and have gone on to be successful but my guess is that number is much much lower than 20-30 years ago.

Unless someone wants to learn a trade or is a brilliant innovator or has exceptional people skills and can make it big as a salesperson, I am not sure how they would find success without a college degree. There may still be a few who work their way up through the ranks but many jobs require a degree to even apply.

I don't think college has anything to do with intelligence, it is more that it has become a professional job requirement so I would assume that someone who doesn't have a college degree has skills / a plan and a different career path laid out.

Neither do I think going to college has any connection to our personality or whether or not you are a good person, a nice person etc...

As for respect..I respect the person, not the credentials.
