I saw this posted else where, would you rather hire a gender studies graduate or a high school drop out? Go into as little or as much detail as you'd like; and this is for any job you wish but ideally for your own coworker.

If it doesn't predestine you to poverty it makes it much more likely. and not getting skill virtually guarantees it.My only point is that, contrary to popular opinion, dropping out of HS and not attending any type of college (community or otherwise) does not predestine one to poverty.
here are smart ways of going about everything. Maybe the issue is that the typical HS dropout is not destined to be successful for other reasons, not redressable or fixed by giving out enough extravagant loans to get them a 4 year degree in gender studies.
I have two vocational certifications. I have never heard of vocational training programs requiring a HS degree vs a GED. That sounds highly unusual.Yes but vocational training is still education. Where I'm from, apprenticeship is a post secondary career path. You have to be a high school graduate to apply, so dropping out at 15 and not going back is not an option.

This statement I don't think I believe, or fully understand the point you trying to make. I don't people are destined to unsuccessful.
Basic intelligence has nothing to do with education.
Ramming a 4 year degree down the throat of all and sundry will probably not fix the problems that would cause someone to drop out of HS.
yes, education at it's best is training for the mind, but you're born with a certain level of intelligence. An intelligent mind deprived of a formal education isn't going to be any less intelligent
There are plenty of idiots with degrees walking around who aren't capable of doing the jobs they've been hired for.
