The current anti-college narrative, while seemingly populist, is built on a false premise: just because you can be successful without college, you shouldn't have to pursue it.
This narrative perpetuates a harmful message for historically marginalized groups, implying those unable to afford college should simply opt out, limiting their potential opportunities.
For many young Americans, specifically for Black and Latino students, college remains one of the most effective routes of social mobility and leadership roles.
It's important to acknowledge that college isn't just about income, though the wage gap between those who graduated college and those who didn't can be profound.
