This times 1,000... I don't think many in the older generations (guys at legacies) understand what has happened very well. College is really almost pointless unless you want to become an engineer, or work in a scientific or medical field. I can count on one hand how many of my friends from high school who got degrees are even doing as well or better than I am as a regional FO. That's sad. My friends who went to serve in the military or learned technical/trade skills are doing great.
