College has become a default for people who shouldn't even be there. Look around your campus and think of all the wasted money these kids are using up just because they don't want to leave the academic lifestyle. Trade schools are not encouraged enough.
I don't know how many more cheerleader-type communications majors this country needs (sorry to all you cheerleader-type communications majors), but I truly think that college has become the new high school.
My decision to go to college was kind of a given too, but for different reasons. My parents encouraged me to get a degree for a career. I wanted to be an independent, very well educated woman, and college was a crucial step for me.
