^^ you seem to be under the impression the majority of Americans are forced to go to college in one way or another and have at least a bachelor’s degree. About 2/3 of the adult population in the U.S. manages to find a job without the benefit of having a four year college degree. Only about 1/3 of the adult U.S. population attains at least a bachelor’s degree. I don’t disagree with you there is a lot of family and societal pressure to attend college, but the fact is the vast majority of Americans make it through life without a four year college degree.

I do think the popularity of college football in particular creates an impression during football season that every college aged person in the country is enrolled in one college or another.
