> The truth is, college isn’t for everyone. It’s a virtual requirement for fields like STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), medicine, academia, and law. I mean, it's a virtual requirement for more than that. If you want to work a white collar job of almost any type it's much harder if you don't have some kind of college degree. It may only barely be possible unless you're particularly skilled at something or good at finding and chasing opportunities. Accountants, social workers, therapists, teachers, middle managers, HR people, supply chain specialists, city planners ... low and high paid positions of all types ostensibly require a college degree in many cases. I'm sure there are people without degrees doing some of these things, but it's more of an uphill battle.
