18. College isn't for everyone

There's nothing wrong with going a trade route, welders, plumbers, electricians are what makes this world go around.

I know I've railed against the fact that in the school district I live in, there isn't a good trade school route, the focus is on prepping all students to go to college. Should we increase access into colleges? Of course. At the same time realize that college isn't for everyone and we should beef up our technical/trade schools at the same time.
