The illusion of free love, a radical concept in the '60s and accepted as the norm today, inflicts more harm than good, the chief reason being that both sexes are more apt to confuse gratification with love. I think you're right on about education. In Utah the statistics are that over 80 percent of our high school students will go to college and less than 24 percent of them will graduate. Career schools are always second choice unless the client insists. The general perception is that to be successful you must go through college, even if that isn't what the individual wants.
University is a wonderful opportunity for the right person.
I fully support it and have studied in many different schools, but the expectation that everyone must attend to be considered successful is sad. Many feel that they are failures. They tend to be very disillusioned. I try to get them excited about their opportunities. I was maligned for not graduating college and looked at askance for marrying a blue-collar type.
