Universities across the country are seeing an all time high in regard to tuition prices. This makes  it almost impossible for students interested in pursuing higher education to follow this path.

I'm not going to lie, college is not for everybody. No, I'm not saying there are people who aren't "smart enough" to be in college. I went to college and I'll be honest...there were some stupid people in my classes. Not everyone needs to go to college. People who go to a trade school or do an apprenticeship make a whole lot of money.
