False perception exists that “not everyone should go to college” means some aren’t smart enough

[basquebromance]

Traditional college & vocational training are different but equal types of higher education

Not Everyone Should Go to College

 

[Rambunctious]

Trade schools...have you seen what a good plumber can earn or a good carpenter...they can earn as much or more than 6 year grads...

College is great, if you get a degree in a useful subject. Stem fields, bio fields, law. The ever growing popularity of "studies" fields are a a waste.

..even some that go to great high schools with great grades fail at college and/or have to change majors because they ''fail'' their initial major
..it is true, some are not smart enough for college
..some people are ''smarter'' than others--fact
...it's not a false perception
..also part of the problem is devoting time to school and not partying/etc
..some ''kids'' don't have the discipline for college
