From the Paper:

"Years ago, high school graduates had two paths to success. They could go to college, earn a degree and enter the field of their choice, or they could bypass college, get an entry position in the field of their choice and work their way up using that method. Either path provided the opportunity to learn, grow, and advance within the field. Both paths provided the ability to support a family and purchase a house, automobile and other life large ticket items. Several decades ago the nation began experiencing a change in the ability to choose to go to college and still have the same opportunities in life."
