It's something the political elite in this country have never understood. One of Obama's major campaign bribes, er, pledges was to "make college more affordable". What about forgoing college and serving your fellow human beings by learning a valuable skill and trading it for the fruit of other people's skills? Sure, you might not end up in a position to be the most powerful person in government, but you would have an undeniable claim that you benefitted humanity; something that many lawyers and politicians wish they could honestly claim. I guess when you have a messianic personality, it's hard to suggest that others *shouldn't* follow in your footsteps.
