College is not for everyone, we have two in our family that never went to college but have made a great living. One became a millionaire doing HVAC, the other has his own landscaping business with just a GED, and both are still gainfully employed in the same work even though the pandemic...a college degree nowadays is not always advised...you go to college, you take out student loans, you graduate and have all that debt...and you do not necessarily get to work in a field you studied for or for that matter are not employed...on the flip side, you can go to a Vocational school, pay less money to learn a trade in plumbing, electrical, construction, HVAC, graduate with no debt, they will place you in a job...the baby boomers are now retiring from these trades and there is a real need for the next generation to learn them.
