My grandfather only had a third grade education but he read alot and observed alot ---and he lived through the Great Depression. He always said that if the US gave up the automotive industry we would lose our economic outlook. The automotive industry is the very thing that made us the richest nation and made us a strong middle class nation at one time. We gave all that up.

I don't kinow about your grandparents but mine ... who also had a hard life ... would have kicked my a$$ if I had NOT gone to college. I was the first person in either side of my family to ever earn a degree. Oh BTW I did a year in Vietnam before going to college ... and I was married .. and I held a full time job the whole time I was in school. No one gave me anything except GI Bill and I earned that.
