College is in no way, shape, or form, a net negative for America. I think the conversation that we should have (and are mostly having here) is whether or not college is the right decision for most people.

My generation grew up being told by our parents (Boomers and Gen Xers) that college was a requirement and that it was the key to getting ahead in life. And while data still suggests that getting a college degree is best for a rewarding career, the narrative we were told overlooked that bad college degrees are not worth debt, and that there are many rewarding careers that can bring financial well-being that don't require college, but do require some kind of training.
