I am not familiar with the OP, but I agree in earnest that there is too much emphasis placed on a degree, any degree. There is call for people willing to get dirty and sweaty in the trades. There is also better than average money to be made, with minimal schooling debt. There are many degrees that provide a sorry ROI, IMO.
Back in the 50's every mother told her son to be a lawyer.
Now what do we have? A litigious society where everyone sues everybody over anything.
You know this is true when they have to have signs telling you to not put your hand under a running lawn mower.
Saying you are not a success because you have no college is equally dumb.
I would say the guy who runs & owns an auto body shop in town is more successful than the Medieval Literature major waiting tables or selling cell phones because college prepared them for nothing except reading books and writing about them and left them with thousands in debt.
The rest of the country is not like New York City....despite what TV would like us to believe.
