Doug Ducey is explaining how higher education is better for Arizona's future. Higher education may or may not get your further in life but it can also slow you down. College and four-year universities are not for everyone. So many people can still be successful with only a few college credits under their belts. Sitting in a classroom and learning about things you do not care about should stick with K-12 education. You should not have to take 2-3 science classes even though you are pursuing a Liberal Arts degree. For a lot of people, only taking business and communication classes are all they need in order to start their own business and become successful.
Ducey also does not put into consideration how much tuition costs and how much it raises every year. Even people who become successful doctors or lawyers still are succumbed to overwhelming student loan debt. They may make more money than the average college graduate but they also rack up a lot more student loans.
Again, college and four-year universities are amazing concepts and I believe anyone who has the willpower to push through all of those years and graduates is awesome. A degree or not, though, should not define who somebody is and how much of an asset they are/can be.
