Which slightly bothers me simply because I have met many people along the way that just graduated college but seemed so far behind in skill level versus the candidate that has been working hard since they graduated high school. I think every one is different and college is not for every one. Why set the bar for failure just because there is no Bachelor's degree?

On another interesting note, however, I have read that there are several skilled labor positions - such as welding positions - that employers are struggling to fill because people have focused so much on attending college rather than vocational schools after graduating from college. So, there are blue collar positions available, but you have to have a certain level of experience to qualify for those positions and people with degrees can't fill those positions either.

It seems that a lot more people don't have college degrees than those that do. That's why we need to continue to have programs that are able to help everyone. Just because you were not able to attend college doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to own a home; have a nice car; life; etc. We will pull out of this backwards economy, but we all need to help out where we can.
