Well, college obviously isn't for you if you say things like "there is some people that is made...."
Did anyone ever tell you that "people" is plural and "is" is used for singular things? |

Even if it was for everyone I wouldn't want everyone to go to college. The world needs "have nots"
and certain people are very talented and don't need additional schooling. |

To do something or to get a respectable position in life in any field, the basic criterion is
knowledge. The long way through which a person acquires the knowledge is not important. He or she
may get the knowledge through a distinct syllabus or may gather it independently. Flexibility to
face any target and confidence to overcome any challenge are some of the inborn qualities. Basic
education is essential to everyone, that’s why the systemic education of schools is necessary but
after that in which field a person employ his or her skills is very difficult to think. He or she
employs his or her skills where their quality fit. We know some great persons like Eienstine,
Rabindranath Tagore and even Bill Gates who do not have formal education of the colleges. So,
college education is important to some persons but it’s not essential to all the persons. |

I think Mackenzie is making some very interesting arguments especially, the fact that many are just
not apt and capable of succeeding in an academic forum, like college.
I would also just like to add that although college should be made accessible to everyone it isn't
for everyone, because some individuals are just meant to be mechanics or to develop their own
business. It is not always in their best interest to go to college and try and succeed in academia
when obviously their career choices don't require them to. |

No, College is not for everyone indeed. The opportunity to study in a college must be given only to
those people who are serious about their education and career. College is not just meant to be a
place for enjoyment. Enjoyment is surely linked to college life but studies come first. So college
is not meant for people who are only interested in the entertainment part of the college life. |

Although the opportunity for going to college should be available to everyone, does it not occur to
people that society still needs jobs in skilled labour such as plumbers and builders?
Furthermore, "Higher education" as it is known in the UK is just that, "higher", and it would lose
credibility if everyone went to college. |

College probably isn't for everyone. Having been through some eight years of university now, I
always try to encourage people to go further with their formal education, but I usually have to keep
reminding myself that some may not thrive in this environment and may be better off participating in
training for a skilled trade.
I think that it is a mistake to encourage mass admission to colleges and universities. What ends up
happening is that at each large university, thousands of students will be admitted every September,
but out of them hundreds will struggle through their first year, waste both time and money, only to
find that the environment is not for them, and finally end up dropping out in their second year. The
problem is that this initial year is characterized by struggle and failure for most of these
students, which may hurt their self-confidence. They could have easily used this time training to be
a skilled labourer, working in a front-line post, in any number of industries, or perhaps they may
have even started up their own business. |
