Are the Gen Z folks now deciding that college is not the right path?

In 1981 I got a two-year degree in Industrial electronics from a Junior college. I then worked in the electronics industry for a number of years. Later I got a 4-year degree in English Lit. An English Lit degree will not make you any money, but I didn't do it for money. I did it for me. "Man does not live by bread alone."

My father went to college on the G.I. Bill in the early 1950's after serving in the army during the Korean war era. He got a degree in accounting. He supported his family for decades after. He was the first in his family to go to college. My mother also went to college. She was smart and got straight As.

@badminton My dad went back to the same factory he worked at before he fought
on the front lines in Italy in WWII. He didn't make a lot of money, but we had
everything we needed.
I learned a lot from him, because he could do absolutely anything.
We never called "The guy" dad WAS the guy.
