Not everyone wants to go to college. A lot of people enjoy working with their hands and are really good at it, and plumbers, carpenters, welders, machinists, mechanics, and electricians are a lot more useful to society than yet one more person who squeaked through the state college pushing paper in some dismal office. And likely happier too.
The idea that a college education automatically leads to a better life than preparation for honest skilled labor is pretty elitist in my opinion.
