If someone leaves highschool "not suited" for academics then their highschool has failed them. No student should feel they are in any way 'not the type' for higher education. No 16/17/18 year-old should be so pigeon-holed.
How many of these kids are making these decisions based on third-hand accounts of what higher education actually entails, without even sitting in on a post-highschool lecture? How many are told not to bother simply because they don't look/act/sound the part?
Given the state of highschool education, the lack of basic literacy, nearly everyone would do well to attend some sort of 'academic' post-secondary education. Reading books, listening to lectures and writing about what you have learned teaches the basic communication skills useful in every field.
