[quote=Anonymous]only 30% of adults in the US have a college degree (the number might have changed slightly recently, this was based on one of those "what class are you" things from the NYTimes not too long ago).  Just throwing it out there to chew on.

My husband only has a college degree because he started it while in the military and was determined to finish it.  It took him 10 years, while working full time, getting married and having a child.  He worked damn hard for that degree, one he NEVER would have gotten had he started college right out of HS instead of joining the military.

College isn't for everybody.  And with college costs as they are, I'd imagine more options will be offered in the not too distant future - Training schools, certifications, that kind of thing.  Asking kids to saddle themselves with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to start their adult lives is just insane.  Not to mention, there aren't jobs out there to support that kind of debt PLUS living normally (moving away from home, starting a family, etc.)

But I digress.  There are plenty of places in America where college is NOT the norm after HS.[/quote]
