Success without college: college may not be right for your child, or right just now

Trama

You don't have to go to college. That's very easy to say, and very hard to believe. The expectation of a college degree has become a traditional aspect of American parenting. A college diploma has become such a popular symbol of personal success and culture that 66 percent of U.S. high school graduates go to college, up from 14 percent only sixty years ago.
