This statement upset me. If you have a learning disability college can be a goal and a reality. Learning disabilities can be overcome in a number of ways including tutoring and special materials or programs. I also feel that not getting a college degree is not a waste. College is not for everyone.
College is an enormous commitment of time, effort and money.
There are many important jobs, careers and positions in our society that do not require a college degree. People who aren't in college may be getting a better education than those of us at college if they learn from their experiences and the resources available to them. People without a college degree are not destined to live on welfare, as is implied by this article. People without a college degree are no less important or intelligent than people with a college degree. This is an important lesson for everyone to learn, especially those of us in college.
