Today ,failure is an option and for way too many people.

Things have changed quite a bit as well. Schools for instance 50 years ago high school students could go to trade school for part of their schooling. This meant when they left high school they had a skill in which they could get a job. Today, schools treat everyone as if they should go to college. When kids get out of school today,very few of them have any sort of skill to go to work with.
Kids used to leave high school and be employable at machine shops, or construction and so forth, meaning even with out a college education they could get decent jobs. Today, they get a job flopping burgers..
