No. Only the rich and those that earn a scholarship go to schools like Yale.

It used to be that you could work your way through college with a job on the side and a summer job. It should return to that.

And College is not a necessity to succeed anyway.

Ronald Reagan went to college, without getting any federal student loan money. I believe it was during the Great Depression.

I completed college, and I was/am by no means ‘rich’.

I just worked my a#@ off

Top colleges graduate many students that make big money, some of whom show their gratitude to their college’s endowment fund.

Enormous endowment funds can be put to more vigorous work than overpriced common stocks: investing in future generous alumni.

If a job didn't require a college degree in 1950 or 1970, it doesn't need one now. And...most jobs are learned on the job now, just as in the past.

Solution: Employers could simply ask for SAT, ACT, or GED scores to determine if a person were sufficiently numerate and literate to do a job.
