Meanwhile, a new, young generation of Americans is trying to figure out what to do with their lives — where to aim their careers. The big strong message to high school students has been “go to college.”

This hour On Point: Questioning “college for all” calling for something new.
Listen to the show in its entirety at On Point on WBUR.
