I believe they conspire but.
I don't believe college is necessary for an "education". Only the ability and desire to read. I do think higher education should be something we as a society strive for and that free thought is our greatest gift. We can't make wise decisions if we don't realize what wisdom is. Being trained to perform a task or trying grasp the idea of humankind's role in the universe are two totally different things.
