Gets,

I think your response fundamentally ignores the problems with the educational system as it relates to middle class kids seeking upward mobility. College is a business, an expensive, very profitable business where professors who make 400k a year spew rhetoric about income inequality. That would all be good and dandy if college was still how it was 20 years, when i had the opportunity to go: cheaper and worthwhile.

Anyone who blindly recommends college fundamentally does not understand the problems with a degree to today. First, extremely expensive, with increasing tuition costs at about 5x inflation. Second, half graduates don't get jobs, and who knows how many of those jobs are micky d's and starbucks. Finally, serious debt, I am talking shylock bust out your business debt. Six figures.

Two words: Trade School.
