People saying college is unnecessary have no idea what they're talking about. It's called denial.
Farmers, management workers, and truck drivers exist of course, but those jobs will not be enough for all the people choosing to quit after high school. I'm not sure how it is in the states, but where I live the market for uneducated jobs are minimizing bit by bit. Our minister of education has talked about this a lot, and is worried for uneducated youths in the next 20 years or so. My uneducated brother works in the mail department and will lose his job soon, because it will close down - as mails have become emails they will only lose money if they keep it going. Fabrics are moved to cheaper countries. I guess in a capitalist country there are more jobs by amount, but there is a lack of safety and labor rights. Salary for people with no education is not always enough for a living in the US, and the bosses can more easily misuse you.
But even with a job that doesn't need a degree, education will benefit you still. It'll make you uniquely qualified compared to others wanting the same job. Open up your own business and and an economy degree will take you far. Mind you, a mechanic is also educated! Academics is not the only education there is. Choosing any profession will increase likelihood of a full time job by a mile.
Here is a lesson for all of you, don't put your hopes in a politician. Politicians are not there to help you, Trump is not here to help you, Hillary is not here to help you, Bernie is not here to help you. Only you can help you. Go to College, make something of yourself, and if you loose the opportunity, then make sure your children do not loose theirs.
That is the only real lesson, don't put your faith in speaking heads, hoping that they can fix what they are not supposed to fix.
This is also wrong. I don't understand this comment at all. As if having faith in a politician is like a pillow to rest on. Who you vote for can determine how big your debt will be or what rights you will have to go to college. Bernie Sanders and partly Hillary have advocated for better and cheaper colleges, that is a reason for many to vote for them so their voters will sure take the opportunity they give them.
