New Mexico, where I live has reported a decline.

I'm not sure if it's because of fewer 18 year olds coming into the system, or if young people are finally understanding that a four year college degree is not the best thing for everyone.

What I want to see is if community college enrollments are up, especially in trade programs and the like.

I've been telling young people for years to look hard at the community colleges and get a degree or certificate that leads to a real job.
