There are certainly some compelling reasons not to go to college. I work in education but as the years go by I am more and more inclined to think that what we are doing in our schools and colleges is really outdated and irrelevant. We need a change of paradigm - we need to teach what really matters and what students actually need to thrive in the real world instead of the same old stuff we were teaching a hundred years ago. Maybe it was relevant then, but not any more.
Having said this, it's hard to play the game of getting a 'good' middle class job without a degree. But then again, maybe that's not what you want...
