The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generration on.All high school graduates ought to go,says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence,because college will help them earn more money, become better people, and learn how to be more responsible citizens tlian those who don&39;t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to haif of our school graduates are attending, those who don&39;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 (he intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no Mtimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say that the fault is with the young people themselves— they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that&39;s a condemnation of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world and they are partly right. We&39;ve been told that young people have to go to cotluge because our economy can absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds either. Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly began to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper the only place (or every young people after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys And statistics upside down,it seems and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent ambitious happy, liberal, or quick to learn things maybe it’s just the way Around, and intelligent. Nmbitious, happy,liberal. Quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all ihose successful college students would have heen successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a liitle schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contray evidence is beginning to mount up.
