What i’m saying is that college does provide an upgrade in employability–whether or not that’s the reason you go. You can go without having that as the goal, and still get that benefit.

Incidental, but my D works at a job which doesn’t require any education level at all. She likes it and she’s good at it and okay with the fairly low income. She’s also incredibly well versed on political issues, philosophical issues, literature, and critical thinking in general. I don’t see her degree as wasted.
