From the post:

>Americans have been placing less importance on the value of a college education over the past 15 years, to the point that about a third (35%) now rate it as “very important.” Forty percent think it is “fairly important,” while 24% say it is “not too important.” When last asked to rate the importance of college in 2019, just over half of U.S. adults, 53%, said it was very important, but that was already lower than the 70% found in 2013 and 75% in 2010. Meanwhile, the percentage viewing college as not too important has more than doubled since 2019 and compares with just 4% in 2010.

Good, not everyone should go to college. High school should have trade apprenticeship training available (even required) for all students, even the 'college track', so that there's actual skills, not just students leaving high school on a dumbed down grade school curriculum that gets everyone a high school diploma and then they go to college to learn their algebra for the first time.

The vast majority of new college students end up taking "remedial math" and "English/Writing". Its sickening. You should not be able to "graduate" highschool if you can't do basic math, reading/writing, etc...
