College these days IS essential. Gone are our parents days of quitting high school and getting a fairly decent job. And, gone is the thinking that a H.S. diploma is enough. ohwell

Of course not everyone is college material but one needs a trade school, or to train in a particular field. I can't imagine anyone who only has a high school diploma being able to move ahead in today's world. With technology moving so quickly everyone will need to be computer savvy. And, that's just a start.
