Should Community College Doors Slam Closed on Remedial Students?

<p>Also, I agree with scholarlymama’s part about “college not being for everyone.” There are some that are meant more for labor and others that are meant to be thinkers. And you know what? We can’t all be! Not everyone can be a doctor or an engineer, it’s that simple. Instead, the government should make it easier for lowly, minimum wage workers to get by. I mean, I had a friend whose dad lost his job when I was younger, and (somewhat foolishly), I asked,“But _______, I bet that the restaurant down the street needs a hire, why doesn’t he go there?” In response, he explained to me, “No, we’d be getting basically the same amount of money, so it doesn’t matter.” It’s a bit sad that it works this way.</p>

<p>Now, I’m not saying that half of the country should be ignorant, but it’d better if work didn’t have to revolve around college, and apprenticeships or other training could still get you somewhere. I understand that the world is changing, but it’s a shame when college graduates are in debt and without a job.</p>

<p>Sorry that this was somewhat off topic, by the way.</p>
