I graduated high school in 1980 and at the time, it was no big deal not to go to college, especially if you were learning a trade.

These days, kids have it pounded in their heads that without a college degree, they will forever be stuck at low-paying menial jobs.

Ironically, that's exactly what happened to many of them after they got their practically useless degrees in political science, communications, liberal arts, etc. Chances are the barista making your latte at $12 an hour has one of those degrees.

Meanwhile your average plumber, electrician, construction worker, etc., is making several times that and they never set foot in a college unless it was to go in there and fix something.
