There is a sentiment from some quarters that college may not be the best option for all students. At the same time, President Obama has told all Americans to receive at least one year of higher education or vocational training.
The disagreement lies in the questions of which students are most likely to succeed in college, what type of college they should attend and whether the person or society benefits most from post secondary education.
Some people say that anyone who meets the requirements and is willing to pay tuition should be able to go to college and that it should not be up to the government to decide.
Other people feel that all high school students should get a good overview of the options available to them, be it a four year college, a two year degree program, an apprenticeship, the military or on the job training.
Students who did not excel in high school should also be told that students who graduated in the bottom 40 percent of their high school class, two-thirds will not graduate from college. Even if they do succeed in college and graduate, their often lower GPA averages will stop them from becoming gainfully employed.
