I worked with my work study coordinator this year to teach a multi-day lesson during financial literacy where we looked at the costs of school (went from the local community college to a 4 year public/private in/out of state. We looked at ways to pay. We looked at apprenticeship options. We looked at careers that don't require a college degree. More kids need to be taught the options and their costs.

I'm with you on this one and totally in for Trade Schools.
Not everyone is college material, but learning a trade will help kids be productive tax payers, which in turn means more positive tax money for the US. Blows my mind how come the US won't invest in itself like this.
