I think getting rid of a stigma for those that didn't go to college is fine and probably something we should work at more as a society. But the focus on work, jobs, etc. and the general assumption that education is purely vocational and only to serve our capitalist overlords is a really dismal thing. We should also make education free as many countries have, so that getting an education isn't about taking out hundreds of thousands of loans as much as it's about having the resources to better one's life.

> I think getting rid of a stigma for those that didn't go to college is fine and probably something we should work at more as a society. This tends to be pushed by those with college degrees though (high school teachers). As parents who push kids to do something more blue collar but still in major demand (welding, plumbing, electrical, etc) you are up against an entire schooling system that has been heavily pushing college for the last 30 years.
