Not everyone is meant for Higher Learning. Trade School may be the better option.

Germany has a more expansive and long-standing apprenticeship
system; the functions that intermediaries play in the US were long ago institutionalized in Germany
among chambers of commerce and industry, employer associations, and the government.

good. but the point is one can make a LOT of money without going to university.
and the way to do it is build your skilled labor supply, like Germany does where apprenticeships are widely available/ Government schools can direct one to a partnership with an employer, in lieu of trying to do it yourself

ALBUQUERQUE — As universities across the United States face steep enrollment declines, New Mexico’s government is embarking on a pioneering experiment to fight that trend: tuition-free higher education for all state residents.

After President Biden’s plan for universal free community college failed to gain traction in Congress, New Mexico, one of the nation’s poorest states, has emerged with perhaps the most ambitious plans as states scramble to come up with their own initiatives.

That’s how it was in the ‘70’s in Louisiana. Any state resident with a H.S. diploma was eligible
to enroll in any state university.
In the fall semester the freshman dorms were filled with loud music and parties until all hours of the night. Spring semester the same dorms were more than half empty and those remaining were quiet as a church mouse.
I remember writing a tuition check for $90 that first semester.
Anyway they don’t do that anymore. LSU is actually somewhat competitive to get in to and a student won’t be considered with less than a 3.2 gpa from h.s.
