There's enough blame to go around. But a few people that somehow frequently escape blame seem to be parents, teachers, and advisors. This problem demonstrates they have a heavy influence on kids because I'm sure it ain't Hollywood action flicks and oscar bait, procedural crime dramas, or popstars telling kids they need to go to college. To some degree it is media but when it comes to home and school they're so sanctified that it's hard to criticize them other than to point out parents need more government aid or teachers need more funding. Seems to me like parents and teachers need to reevaluate what they're cramming into kids brains. I'd also say theres a culture problem with the suburban middle class that looks down on blue collar work. I think a lot of people here know what I'm talking about, the disgust bordering on contempt for the dirty, overweight fellows who get on their knees and backs and get their hands beat up. Understandably blue collar isn't for everyone but colleges are so saturated higher education is starting to become cost prohibitive in the long run.
