No i`m saying there`s an over reliance on it , there`s much more to life than going to collage or university but you wouldn`t think that from what I hear about the pressure to get there. You are basically told 'this is the most important time in your life blah blah blah' and you have people thinking if they`re not good enough to do that then they are a failure.There are only so many places that can be filled.It`s as if training schemes , on the job training or apprentiships don`t exist anymore because everybody seems to be told that collage & university is the only way.
And you can`t tell me the stress of that and the dissapointment of not getting it , or getting it & finding you can`t cope doesn`t have any effect.
