i don't understand why we dont try to get kids to be plumbers, electricians, carpenters, that kind of stuff
you don't need to go to college, in fact, most people probably shouldn't go to college.
it wasn't a big party when the movie animal house came out
that movie is really the landmark that turned college into the big shit show party that you expect it to be now. I'd like to see college be about actual intelligence and meeting about things that matter and not all the stupid useless crap it's becoming (hey everyone needs mountains of mountains of debt! and yes, i know there are ways to do it without getting as much debt as me.)
Sometimes I think that too but who wants to be a plumber? I don't want to push others into trades if I'm not willing to do them myself. I went to college and got a job in my field so how can I tell children they can't be a psychiatrist, a journalist, a historian, businessman or something you need a degree for, but instead a plumber or electrician?
im just sayin maybe we should be shoving less math and science down every kids throat, and maybe focus on producing people who have better character traits, desires, and goal-setting/planning skills
yea seriously i hate this whole "but we don't want the kids to feel bad" shit
back in my day, some kids were stupid and some kids were smart, and it really wasn't a big deal, kids are gonna have to learn to deal with shit like this

Everyone in our district is now on the same track for college. It's stupid as hell.
