I've long wondered why so many well-intentioned parents push their progeny to go to college, when there are viable alternatives.

You don't need a sheepskin to make a good living.

Learn a trade: become an electrician or a plumber for example.

Join an apprenticeship program: not only is the education free, but the apprentice gets paid while learning / working.
