The ONLY way to get ahead in life is through education, particularly at the post-graduate level.
Either that, or else you could be stuck doing low-wage menial labor for the rest of your life, or until you can earn an academic degree.
Only in some extreme exceptions, employers have stressed and publicly stated that they will NOT hire anyone unless they have finished a bachelors degree from an accredited university. They also factor in your grades and test scores, as well as the kind of school that you went to. They will consider hiring someone who went to a prestigious university (Ivy League) over someone who graduated from a lesser institution.
For example, a Harvard MBA is likely to be hired to prestigious corporate positions and receive promotions much faster than an MBA from a lesser business school. Most executives and CEO's have MBA's from the top business schools in the entire world.
College used to be an optional luxury, but now it is a REQUIREMENT for nearly all forms of white collar labor. A college degree has officially become a litmus test for most employment in the industrialized world.
The bottom line is that if you do not go to college, your life is going to be extremely difficult. And there are very large swaths of people who cannot go to college for various reasons, both financial and other.
The only thing restricting my ability of continuing my education past high school is that I have a very low IQ and might find college-level academics too difficult and advanced. College academics are rigorously harder than what is encountered in high school. This is why the SAT/ACT tests are used primarily to filter out the I cans from the I can'ts in the academic world.
Corporatist control over most employment as well as the high academic requirements is a form of eugenics and social Darwinism, divvying the haves and the have not's throughout society and placing them in their socio-economic positions accordingly. This is why small businesses are being taxed and regulated out of existence, and we (average citizens) are being forced to be almost entirely dependent on huge multinational corporations for our employment, food, health care, and so forth... Survival of the fittest.
I am very certain that I would fail both of these tests if I took them, because of my poor intellect. I am from the very unfortunate "disabled pool" and my potential in terms of work and education is limited.
