The careerists: "attend college as a means to an end: getting a job"

In this economy and day and age it is very rare a high school graduate is going to make enough money to ensure a comfortable lifestyle. I do not see anything wrong with only attending college to get a career, not a job. A career has the connotation of a long term and fulfilling employment. A job gives an impression of a temporary, un qualified position. I see nothing wrong with only going to college to make sure I get a career over a job. Not everyone has an academic mind, but it is important to push through it and have goals and dreams of supporting yourself and maybe even other close ones. The logical step to getting to that point is going to college first.
