>Well, by definition, very few people are best in the world. And we still want most of the rest to get a college education.
Why is that? speaking as someone who doesn't have a college education, I'm fairly certain I would be less wealthy, by a good bit, had I gone to a mediocre school rather than no school at all. I mean, there are non-monetary benefits to school, too, and while I'm looking to go to college now - I just wasn't ready at 17.
It seems to me like the problem is the number of jobs that look for a degree even though college is little more than a class filter for them.
