My son, thirty-ish, is already planning to steer his toddler toward trade school NOT college. I'm perfectly fine with that. (My stepdad had a doctorate, my mom got an AA degree that was utterly useless by the time she took the last semester of classes to get it, and I'm rather indifferent to being able to check "some college education" on those ridiculous questionnaires.)
Education is more a measure of opportunity and resources, rather than intelligence.
