Everyone deserves the opportunity, but not everyone should go. The issue is that people who would be better served by taking a different route are lead to believe that college is the "best" option and should do everything they can to attempt it. When the reality is, there are better options for some (a lot of) people and those options should get equal billing and they don't.
