Yes, some kids can bs their way through college and get that degree to slap on the wall. Some really earn and retain it to educate themselves. Same for kids that don't go to college... personal ambition goes a long way no matter what path you take. I think we are lacking ambition and motivation now that college is largely a standard and Ivy league schools aside, simple to get into.
