Yeah. The argument is more like everyone woyld be better off being the type of person to succeed in college. Which, yeah, being smart is generally good. But is college? How would large attendance to a peer learning center compare to a degree ih terms of skill?
Going to college is the original "Everyone needs to know how to code" meme. You won't get a good job, they say. You need a degree, they say. When in truth, some people have no interest or business going to college. The result? Masses of debtors pushed into college education who fail out. Graduation rates are now around 52.9% [1]. Those who fail out are in really bad shape when it comes to trying to repay a five or six figure loan on an education they didn't complete.
