Of course, not every male has to go to college to succeed, to be a good husband, to be a good and productive man. But a dismal future lies ahead for large numbers of boys in this generation who will not go to college. Statistics show that a young man who doesn't finish school or go to college in 2005 will likely earn less than half what a college graduate earns. He'll be three times more likely to be unemployed and more likely to be homeless. He'll be more likely to get divorced, more likely to engage in violence against women, and more likely to engage in crime. He'll be more likely to develop substance abuse problems and to be a greater burden on the economy, statistically, since men who don't attend college pay less in Social Security and other taxes, depend more on government welfare, are more likely to father children out of wedlock, and are more likely not to pay child support.

This is a good example as to why men don't go to college, because they get this negative BS both ways.

First they accused men of being born rapists and then when the men walk away from this BS, these bigots try to say how the men have no future if they don't go to college.

I know of more successful men of my generation (I am 25 years old) personally who dropped out of college than who completed college.

I have a degree in M.E. I REALLY don't think college is "all that". There is not a place in the whole world like this country where the opportunity is still available for one to strike out on their own and start a business....with or without a college education.

I don't doubt it in the slightest. I hope you and your friends are aware that phrases such as "500 times smaller" and "400 percent less" are imbecilic mathematical impossibilities, that knowledge seems to be lacking among the supposedly educated "journalists" who write the news copy for CNN.
