Those people who shouldn't go to college, but who do, are going to be dissapointed when they hit the job force.

I appreciate tradesmen who do good work. Unfortunately, I've seen too much bad work; I will not accept bad work.

Very good point. CAN earn more money with college, not WILL make more money. I know a lot of college grads with generic degrees making $15/hr at menial jobs. That's about where an entry level apprentice plumber starts, with far more earning potential. College isn't the end all be all, and it makes me sick that our high schools are intent on simply pushing everyone to a university.
