> smart motivated ones find a way to go to college

the bigger sample bias is that wealthy people almost universally send their children to college and their children are always going to earn above average wages.

it is pretty obvious that people who graduate college are going to earn more because large numbers of high paying jobs require a college degree, but that is a bad thing.

jobs that require specific skills should have objective skills tests to qualify for the job. requiring a degree for a job should be prohibited by law because it is blatantly discriminatory.
