I think we should not encourage so many people to go to college. CMV

I'm 17. I'm not sure if this happened with previous generations (I'm assuming it didn't, or not as strongly), but we (EVERYONE around my age) have been told from grade school that we should go to college. I have nothing against getting an education, and I think everyone should get a good one. However, I think the notion of total encouragement for everyone to go to college is ridiculous. It is way too costly nowadays for everyone to get a degree, especially when so many people will end up with a job they didn't need to spend ~$15,000/yr on. Not only that, but the idea is that if we go to college we can get a good paying job and not have to do the hard manual labor that we see some of our parents doing. I think that we should keep a very good amount of people as manual laborers in America. If we all/most of us become people who don't do the manual labor, that hard work simply won't disappear. No, it will go into areas of the world where a simple community college seems as fantastical a place as Hogwarts does to us. Should they, who didn't have the opportunity to go "better" themselves, be subjected to do the work we were simply too lazy to do, or we saw ourselves as "better than"?

Well, who are the people who we're going to stop encouraging to go to college? Would you be happy if we decided *you* would be better suited to manual labor and never told you about college?

The obvious solution to this isn't to stop encouraging people to go to college. It's to stop treating college as something you pay for in return for (maybe) getting a better job.
