It seems mainly to be about cost, as opposed to opportunity. College tuition inflation is insane. When it came time for me, I couldn’t even come close to affording college (in 1981). Long story, but there were many challenges to address. I didn’t want to accept financial support from my family (see “long story,” above), but I did let them co-sign a government-backed student loan for $6,000, for a two-year, full-time trade school (which seemed outrageously expensive, back then). Took ten years to repay, but I never regretted it.
