It’s hard to disagree with the words at left, given that it’s the kid’s decision.

College isn’t for everyone in the United States, and that applies, to our shame, to families that can’t afford tuition and the other considerable expenses.  Most of the rest of the developed world offers its citizens free tuition, and provides stipends to encourage everyone to achieve their full potential.

College graduates are more likely to:

Take pleasure in art, reading, playing a musical instrument, traveling, and dozens of other pursuits that derive from higher education, and

Live longer, healthier, and more affluent lives.

College Anyone?
