graduate high school. Not college, high school. Lots of excellent opportunities out there that don’t require college. I don’t have a degree, and I’m retiring with no debt because I did both one, 2 and to follow…3.

This is where you are out of touch.

High school graduation rates are at 91% now. The bar has been raised. There are very few good opportunities for high school graduates now. Is trade school an opportunity? Yes, but that's not what you said.

If you do get a decent job with just a HS diploma you are going to find yourself being passed up on promotions by those with college degrees. You can't really swap jobs either, because with HR being mostly automated, resumes that don't include a degree will get sorted into the trash.
