The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation.All highschool graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because collegewill help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don" t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone.And now that close to halfour high school graduates are attending, those who don' t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious.College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other' s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school.Others find no stimulation in their studies, and dropout--often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and theyare expecting too much.But that' s a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn' t explain all campus unhappiness.Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that collegemay not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of highschool.We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, andthrough the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences.Perhaps college doesn' t makepeople intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things--maybe it' s just the otherway around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the oneswho have been attracted to college in the t-n'st place.And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not.
