re: When will society accept that college isn’t for everybody?

But a professionally run and professionally presented university that teaches Plumbing, electrical, hvac, welding, etc... alongside some basic business skills and critical thinking.

I'm 40. When I was in H.S. we had the option of going to Vo-Tech our Jr. and/or Senior year. You could take Auto Body Repair, Mechanics, Drafting, Electrical, Carpentry, Nursing or Food Service. I ended up taking drafting for one year and although I didn't get a job drafting out of HS it did help me in my career as a fitter. Did that for 15 years and now I have a job as a draftsman. I have a few friends who own their electrical repair companies who took electrical at VoTech. One of the biggest and best home builders in Houma took Carpentry there as well.

There's nothing wrong with not having a college degree. A will to work, not being a complete dumbass and being able to pass a drug screen can still go pretty far in todays job market.
