I agree that college is "big business" in the US and that 50%+ of kids that go would be better off learning a trade or other vocation. However, studies still show that earning power over your lifetime is greatly increased with a college degree. The key is "over your lifetime." Sure, you can make more as a welder right out of high school - but will reach the ceiling quicker.
