Anyone should be allowed to go to college. But we shouldn't tell high schoolers they must go to college.
My entire four years in HS were just teachers telling students how to take SAT and ACT scores as if your entire working life is just going to be college entrance exams.
First it's FCAT, then MCAT, ACT, SAT, ASVAB. But do any of you know firearms safety? Automotive mechanics? HVAC? Electrical?
I was denied a machinist job when I was 19 because I told the owner I was going to college. He wanted an employee for 5+ years and knew I'd leave once I graduated. Where I'm from there are no jobs for anyone with a degree.
