The reality is not everyone is cut out for college, and that’s not a knock on them. Some people have amazing skills and a college degree isn’t required for them. Others have life circumstances that don’t allow them to go. Others just don’t do well in a structured class environment but in reality are plenty smart.
I think on the extreme an example like the Freakanomics folks who wrote about the Chicago drug dealers and how some of the leaders had Fortune 500 CEO level minds in how they built, structured and rang their organization and never went to college.
And for some folks trade schools serve a much better purpose than running up a bunch of debt for a college degree. And especially for older folks, college degrees weren’t as important to get a job as they are today.
Now I’ll admit every year I await the U.S. News and World Report rankings. I want to see where USC is ranked. If someone said that’s some elitist stuff and few care I wouldn’t argue with them.
Don't leave us hanging. How does USC rank every year?
