Perhaps worst of all, even those who do manage to graduate too rarely end up in careers that require a college education. So it's not surprising that when you hop into a cab or walk into a restaurant, you're likely to meet workers who spent years and their family's life savings on college, only to end up with a job they could have done as a high-school dropout....
I think that this is a very true fact. It's sad to say, but I tend to think you'd be better off spending those 4 years right after high school working full time, and working your way up the career ladder versus going to school for 4 years (or 6).
