I completely agree. I work in education and I think most teachers and counselors are doing a disservice to students. They preach that college is the only route to success. I went the college route myself but escaped relatively debt-free. On the other hand, you could learn a trade in high school (welding, carpentry, etc.) start a career right after finishing high school, and be relatively debt-free for the majority of your adult life.

I believe it's all a part of a plan to indoctrinate college students, have them leave college with no real-world skills, and have them go out into the workforce thousands of dollars in debt. The great enslavement set up by the elites.
