You are right, all the comments replying to you are making vacuous individualist arguments like ‘it won’t work every single time’, when what’s important is that ‘on average, it will raise intelligence and the ability to critically evaluate situations’.
The internet loves to just regurgitate what they heard before and only deal in absolutes, so right now it’s that they would have made more money in the trades, so suddenly college and higher education is meaningless and provided no value to them. It’s honestly embarassing how much they’re just buying into right wing propaganda.
A more educated population is a more empowered population, and there’s absolutely no reason that everyone shouldn’t do some form of post secondary education, whether it’s university, college, or a trades program that includes college level courses. You’re not going to be able to understand how the world actually works or get a sense of the depth of knowledge in each field by just dropping out of high school and stopping thinking hard.
