Why is not going to college frowned upon by society?

College isnt a waste of money, its a way to gain money. You have probably played the game of life before. When you go to college you can get up to 100,000 per pay day....when you don't, the pay isnt as high and there is a limit to how much money you can make. If you want the best life for your kids, then it is better to go to college. And who knows you may meet your soulmate there;)

I'm not sure it's frowned upon, but going to college does show that you are able to commit and follow through to achieve a goal. No mater what course of study a person chooses, they will surely gain knowledge along the way that will be helpful in a career and in life. Not everyone is a good candidate for college. If you can get a job right out of high school that will give you the opportunity to learn valuable skills and move on to the next job, and keep improving yourself, that's just as good as college. You don't have to go to college, as long as you keep learning on your own. Read books, watch documentaries, start and finish projects, develop hobbies and you will succeed. Life is about learning and teaching.

I don't think it's frowned upon. At least not in my eyes. But I feel going to college is a way of showing you are capable of thinking (you'd be surprised how many people are not capable of this these days) in a wide and diverse manner. It also shows you are able to understand a vast amount of studies including general psychology, problems in society, mathematics, sciences, language, speaking and many other things. Life is a learning experience, and missing out on college is a lot of information which you could have otherwise learned. Even if you don't end up with a high paying job like a college graduate should, you came out a more experienced, educated person.. which I think is a good thing and well worth the cost.
