If 70.1% of high school graduates enroll in a college or university, how does a college degree give you an advantage over the rest of the population?
First of all, less than 30% of American adults actually complete a BA/BS degree (or higher). Second, I will agree that college is not for everyone. Some degrees are more valuable than others (engineering, computer science, pre-Med, etc). A degree in liberal arts might seem initially worthless, but it does open doors for all types of white collar jobs.
