Based on what I see at work, I'd say that the figure is pretty accurate, even for the whole society. I would guess that about a fifth of the students that I see in class can't really handle the college workload either. A lot of them end up dropping out after the semester is over. For them, college was a short, albeit expensive detour in life.

Too dumb? Or just too uneducated? There is a difference.

Ignorance is correctable, stupid is forever.

Neal, if one can't pass the ASVAB to join even the army.. they REALLY are dumb. The ASVAB is really NOT that hard.
edit: I don't remember what my overall score was on the ASVAB ('twas years ago when i took it), but i do remember i scored a 95 in mechanical. Air force recruiter had me on the phone within two days of taking the test saying he was impressed with my scores. ![]() ![]() |

Much of the problem is that so much of what you are able to do later in life depends on what you have done in your youth, and youths are notoriously short-sighted. |
