The mantra has always been "College isn't for everyone". I think some people have assumed this was pejorative and just directed at bad students or the poor, but there is much more to it. Maybe college isn't for you _right now_. Maybe you don't know what you want to study yet. Maybe you aren't yet mature enough to leave home. Or maybe money is a factor. But "Don't go to college" to me seems as naive as "Everbody should go to college."
