College Not For Everyone?

A nice read on how high school and a lackluster involvement of student interest is producing kids who aren't ready for college. My high school teacher summed it up nicely for us. He said: "high school is twice as hard as junior high school. College is twice as hard as high school. It gets worse from there."

Is college for everyone? No of course not, there's always going to be a need for people who don't want to better themselves in positions that pay minimum wage. Don't like your pay? Do something about it. Pay attention in school. Work extra hard at your current job. Learn valuable skills. Sooner or later, you'll find yourself doing less physically demanding jobs for a much higher pay range.
