I think pushing the idea of the Gap Year would be a great thing.
Let high school grads spend a year or two in the real world before going to college. Maybe some of them will find alternatives to college that fits them, like blue collar work. However, the fact that many adults come out of college with a blank resume is just bad.

What is a kid straight out of hs going to do in the "real world"?
Other than continue to live at home to still have his mom do his laundry

I've pushed for this for years. TOPS even allows for students to take a year off after high school before enrolling in college.
People like myself would be substantially benefited by sitting out a year and figuring out what they want to do before starting college. Many students go straight into college because they're told they have to/should.
The only downside is that typically institutional scholarship offers are only good if you enroll in the semester immediately after graduation. But the types of students who could use a gap year typically don't qualify for scholarships anyway.
