I actually can see both sides. I had no idea as a young kid what I wanted, having a baby so young stopped me for a few years but it also gave the me the opportunity to see what I wanted. However, I do think college is a necessity if you want more in life than walmart or mcdonalds. and I have no issue with either by the way, I used to work at mcdonalds. I just personally knew I didn't want to do that kind of work. I love office work and that is what I do. Because I went back to school has really helped me get the jobs I wanted. It didn't stop me from getting work, just made it alot easier to get paid better. I am not sure if it is a corporate thing or not but our local mcdonalds will not hire you unless you are either in school or a graduate. you cannot drop out and get a job there. You must either be in ged classes, or have a ged to work there. Which, I think is great!
