In his soon-to-be published book The Once and Future Worker, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Oren Cass points out that the bulk of educational spending at the K-12 level is based on the premise that all children can and should attend college.
Others may not want to attend college because good job opportunities exist that don't require four-year degrees.
Our national obsession with college obscures the economic demand for non-college skilled or trained labor.
Coding pays well and doesn't require a college degree.
Real alternatives to college exist for high-school graduates, and these options shouldn't be seen as second-class choices.
Presently, Pell grants can be used to cover tuition at a college or career training school, but only for long-term courses of study.
No one has a quick fix for the United States' workforce and educational deficiencies, but we need to take steps today to reorient schooling to value all jobs-not just those requiring college degrees.
