Issac Asimov noted that there used to be a cultural incentive for males to drop out of school. In the past dropping out and getting a blue collar job and an income was sort of like becoming an instant adult man socially, but prematurely.

That attitude is a recipe for a lifetime of lower or no income in the age of Education Without End for most jobs worth having.
