Not everyone can just up and leave the country to do missionary work, nor is that the only spiritual thing a person can do.
Some people have their families to support.
I'm not saying college is the best choice for people who don't need it but my main point was was that a person with JUST a GED who is having trouble getting hired by even as simple of a place like Dollar General to SUPPORT theirself or their family to LIVE it would probably be of benefit to go to college after getting said "diploma".
My family might be out of a house this coming Summer if I don't get a job by then. But GED recipients are bottom of the barrel, dime a dozen. =/

I don't know what it's like where you live... but I believe there are just as many jobless/low wage jobs GED grads as well as a college or university grads. College doesn't MEAN anything... It's the EFFORT employers see.. If you haven't done anything at all for schooling or self improvment, then I can see reason to not get a job (other than the obvious reason that there is a lack of jobs in the first place and lack of or holding back of funding to support new companies and to keep then in the country - relating to what Azkeel said in previous post). But even a GED is good enough to get a job as long as you do other things to back it up.. A lot of jobs come down to WHO you know as well, and persistence! Most people don't even know to follow up with a call a few days later or even to ask for a manager/human resources instead of giving their 'resume' to a cashier or something..
All I can say is try and support what you believe in, and use your money as wisely as you can to help grow the businesses that we do need.
I'm still up in the air about what schooling to use for my family; I'm pretty much going to wait and see what happens over the next year or two before I completely decide. >< We'll see where we end up...
I'm happy this thread has gotten so much attention though ^-^ gimme more facts or potential outcomes to ponder! biggrin
