Ms Streshly is quoted in the final paragraph above as saying "... so that every youth graduates college ..."

I hope that is a misquote. Many high school graduates would be better off with technical and vocational training as opposed to a four year college experience. They would come out with practical and marketable skills, and certainly would be less in debt.

What technical and vocational training?

What schools are in the area and what are the costs? Seems to me it's far, far easier to find a college or a jc.

We just need to provide an affordable path like most other advanced countries.

We need to stop this hyper focus on everyone must go to college. If we don't we won't have any trades people and the ones we do have will be charging an arm and a leg due to their scarcity.
