<p>Are you sure that college graduate and HS graduate have the same type of job security? I have met so many people that are doing professional jobs that is not related to their major in college at all. However, I got the feeling that if they did not have a college degree, this jobs would not be available for them at all. For example, Bio major working at the top financial firm, which is also paying for his MBA classes, engineers and teachers working as IT professionals (most IT jobs really do not need a college degree to be successful). All of them have an option of doing manual labor. Does person who never went to college has an option to get a professional job?</p>
