Should Everyone Go To College?


Here is an interesting story from NPR -- National Public Radio.

President Obama wants everyone to have at least 1 year of education beyond high school. Because he said that most new jobs require at least a two-year college education, he unveiled a plan that would push more students to graduate from community colleges.

Some people like the idea that President Obama didn't say that everyone needs a 4-year college degree, but instead acknowledged the trades, 2-year community colleges, and certification fields.

However, some call this an "impossible dream." They argue that not everyone has the desire or the ability to pursue a college degree.

How do you feel about the president's plan?
