Samira Grey4: hmm... I don't really know "why". I think it has been instilled into us (as children, as a community) for generations. Back then (and still now), college is a stepping stone to a higher profession (such as doctors, lawyers, anything in the STEM = science technology engineering math, etc). We really should have apprenticeships because we are losing people in those professions but we don't have masters(?) willing to do that. The closest thing we have is trade schools where after high school, they can attend a trade school to become a pharmacy technician or a medical assistant or cosmetologist or plumber or car mechanic or something along those lines, even LVNs (licensed vocational nurses, which are the lowest education level of nurses; RNs = registered nurses and NPs = nurse practitioners have more education, degrees, and can do more). Trade schools can range from s few months to 2 years.
