A lot of kids just don't see the point of college and they think it would be great to start earning money right away.... until they see all their friends leaving for college and they are staying in the same place.  When they see other kids passing them by, then they will see the point and do a great job.

I have a friend who got a tech. drawing degree.  Worked, had a jeep and a girlfriend and spending money.  That was all fine until he saw that the guys who went to college were getting the promotions and he wasn't.  Went back to school at 25 yrs old and got his mech. eng. degree and had a very successful career.  If he had gone to college right away, he would have failed out.  But, once it was HIS decision based on HIS goals (i.e. not being skipped over for promotions), then it all fell into place.
